Expeditions in Your Classroom: Common Core State Standards Geometry

by Nora Priest

Overview

Your students could be “Fashionistas”, seeing the geometry in fashion design. Or perhaps they’re “At the Scene of the Crime”, using coordinate systems to investigate a crime scene. Or they could be “Thinking Outside the Box”, building unconventional containers for new products.

Most important, they’re using project-based learning to understand geometry in their daily lives. Covering topics such as measurement, shape visualization, and graph theory,
these 10 projects are a real-world approach that incorporates important geometry skills.

• Correlated to the Common Core State Standards
• 10 separate projects, from “Project Putt-Putt” to “Superhero Challenge”
• 10â?“12 hours per project (prep, homework, and activities)
• Includes implementation suggestions and answer keys
