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!...
So impressed! What a neat idea! Amazing!
