Geometry in Architecture

In this activity, images of famous structures were imported into Photodraw. A word box with all of the geometry concepts was included for students. Third grade students used the drawing tools to mark and label geometric aspects of the buildings they located. This activity provides a real-world application to the geometry the students are studying. It also allows the inclusion of multiple indicators into one lesson.

Indicators
2.3.1.1 identify, describe, and classify polygons, including pentagons, hexagons, and octagons
2.3.3.1 draw geometric figures using tools and technology.
2.3.2.1 identify right angles in geometric figures or in the environment.
2.3.2.2 determine whether angles found in geometric figures and in the environment are greater than, equal to, or less than a right angle.
2.4.2.1 identify, classify, and sketch acute, right, and obtuse angles and relate them to real-world examples
2.4.1.2 identify parallelism and perpendicularity of geometric figures and real-world objects.
