Lesson Plan Most geometry vocabulary involves vocabulary involves things that you can see.

Lesson Plan, con’t. This lesson guides the students through a camera scavenger hunt that requires that they photograph objects that represent or incorporate geometric shapes.

Lesson Plan, con’t. Mathematical concepts are especially well suited to discovery through scavenger hunts. Mathematical concepts are especially well suited to discovery through scavenger hunts. Teams of students find and photograph illustrations and examples of concepts we are discussing in class.
