Expeditions in Your Classroom: Common Core State Standards Geometry

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
