Presentation Transcript

  1. Zoom In:Geometry in Our World Where in the world are these shapes from?

  2. Investigative Question:How is math used in everyday life? • Determine what you see and what questions you might ask to get the big picture.

  3. Describe what you see.

  4. What shapes do you see? Describe any patterns you see.

  5. Make a hypothesis for what you think this is. Support your hypothesis with details from the picture

  6. What shapes do you see? Where in the world do you think this structure is?

  7. Why do you think the building is open?

  8. Do you know what this is an image of? Was your hypothesis correct?

  9. Describe what you see using the following words: congruency, symmetry, angles and parallel.

  10. Good Job! Let’s try another. Again, look for shapes that you recognize.

  11. Do your recognize any of the shapes?

  12. What do you think this is a picture of?

  13. Do you see any lines that are parallel? Perpendicular? Do you see any right angles? Obtuse? Acute?

  14. Do you know what famous skyline this is?

  15. Did you say New York City? If so, you’re correct! What other shapes can you see in the skyline of the “City that never sleeps”?

  16. Gottscho-Schleisner, Inc. (1932). New York city views. Lower New York from foot of Brooklyn Bridge. Library of Congress: Prints & Photographs, Gottscho-Schleisner Collection

  17. Here are some more structures from around the world.
