Geometry Scrapbook

This week you will be creating a geometry scrapbook. The book needs to contain pictures of the specific items listed below. You can find the pictures you need in magazines, newspapers, ads, commercial packaging, and the internet.

• Tape or glue the pictures neatly into a book.
• The pages can be stapled or put in a report cover.
• The pictures need to be clearly labeled.

  COVER

  Include your name, a title, and a geometric design that you construct. (5 points)

  Section 1

  2 points each, all measurements require units
  • A triangle--Measure and record the length of all 3 sides and the degree measure of each angle.
  • A rectangle--Measure and record the length of all 4 sides and the length of the diagonal.
  • A circle--Measure the radius of the circle.
  • A square--Measure and record the length of the side and the length of the diagonal.
  • A trapezoid--Measure and record the lengths of all 4 sides and both diagonals.
  • A hexagon--Measure each side length.
  • An octagon--Measure each side length.

  Section 2

  3 points each--2 of which are for the explinations
  • Parallel Lines--Find parallel lines that demonstrate function versus design.
    • Example: railroad tracks must be parallel. Explain the function of parallel lines in your photo.
  • Perpendicular Lines--Find perpendicular lines that demonstrate the function of perpendicular lines.
    • Explain the function of perpendicular lines in your photo.

  Section 3

  3 points each--1 of which is for the definition
  • Congruent Shapes--Find congruent shapes that are not triangular.
    • Example: a pair of socks.
    • Write out the definition of 'congruent.'
  • Similar Shapes--Find an example of similar shapes that are not congruent.
    • Write out the definition of 'similar.'

  Section 4

  Symmetric Logo--label each logo with the type of symmetry it contains. 2 points each
  • Find a company logo which contains rotational symmetry.
  • Find a company logo which contains a line of symmetry.
  • Find a company logo which does not contain symmetry.

  Section 5

  2 points each Solids--Find and label an example of a
  • sphere
  • cylinder
  • pyramid
  • cone
  • prism

  Section 6

  Geometric Sample--Find a photo/picture of something that you think relates to geometry. 5 points for the explanation.
  • Explain what you think the connection is to geometry.
