My math class searched places in our school building showing examples of geometry; this was a way of making connections with the real world. Next, I wrote a script for each person to read. Hey look, this bulletin board is a quadrilateral. All students then ask; What is a quadrilateral? A quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides! Hey look, I see a right angle on the window! What is a right angle? A right angle has a measure of 90 degrees and it forms a square corner! Hey look, the shape of this tile is a rhombus! What is a rhombus? A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides the same length! Hey look, these lines are parallel lines! What are parallel lines? Parallel lines never cross! Also, parallel lines stay the same distance apart!...
