Take a deep dive into the shapes, lines, and angles around you.

Have you ever looked around and wondered how many lines, angles, and shapes surround you? In this WebQuest you will be introduced Welcome to the world of geometry! You will learn about polygons, polyhedrons, angles, and lines. Uses these websites to uncover real-world examples of unlocking more knowledge on shapes and lines. At the end of this assignment you will be able to identify all kinds of new geometric features!

What do angles, lines, and shapes tell us about the shapes we see and use everyday?

What do angles, lines, and shapes tell us about the shapes we see and use everyday?

Explore these 6 websites to answer 10 questions. You will be using real world examples to connect what you learn today to your daily life!

Work through each question below

START HERE: 

1) What are the different types of angles, and describe how they look?

2) Find a real-world example of an object with each type of angle.

3) How does a corner of an object help you recognize a right angle?

Polygons

4) What is a polygon?

Types of lines

5) Share the difference between a line, line segment, and a ray.

Parallel line

6) What is a parallel line?

Perpendicular lines

7) What is a perpendicular line?

8) What are intersecting lines?

Polyhedron

9) What is a polyhedron?

Quadrilateral

10) What is a quadrilateral?

Here is how you will be graded: 

All 10 questions are answered= 40 points

All URLs are used to answer questions= 40 points 

Each answer is written in your own words= 20 points

Did this WebQuest further your understanding of shapes, lines, and angles that surround you? Now when you look at stop signs, the corner of your desk, or a basketball, you will remember geometry is a frequent part of your daily life. 

Take time to reflect on what you enjoyed or found challenging during this assignment. Feel free to ask any questions after class!

3.MGSR.3. Extend geometric reasoning to attributes of polygons and/or polyhedrons. 

• 3.MGSR.3.1 Describe and draw right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. Identify these angle types in two-dimensional figures including triangles and quadrilaterals.

  •  Recognize angles as attributes of geometric shapes formed when two rays share a common endpoint and create a space between the rays. An acute angle has rays that are closer together. An obtuse angle has rays that are farther apart. Use everyday objects with a square corner (such as index cards, sticky notes, notebook paper) as a reference or benchmark for a right angle. 

  • Use the straight edge of a sheet of paper as a benchmark for a straight angle. The expectation is not to measure angles with a protractor.

• 3.MGSR.3.2 Identify, describe, and draw points, lines, line segments, rays, intersecting lines, perpendicular lines, and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures. 

  • Clarify lines versus line segments in two-dimensional figures. Figures are not limited to polygons. A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
