Lets Go for a Walk... A Geometry Walk

Today, the sixth graders went outside for a GEOMETRY WALK. The students were asked to look for the following:

  • Acute Angle
  • Obtuse Angle
  • Right Angle
  • Straight Angle 
  • 2 Shapes
  • Parallel Lines
  • Perpendicular Lines





The students were asked to replicate the picture and identify where the particular geometry item is. This activity is great for discussion of angles, attributes for shapes, as well as showing the students how geometry is present in outdoor buildings, structures, and other items. 

Here are several of the sites the students saw while on the Geometry Walk:
