Math Vocabulary Illustrated Flash Cards (or Flip
Book/Dictionaries) Project
Due Monday, April 2nd
We will also be having a quiz on these vocabulary words and concepts on
April 2nd.
Background:
In the geometry unit, there are several essential vocabulary words/formulas that you need
to know and understand. Flash cards, dictionaries and flip books are used to help people
learn and better understand the definition of words.
Task:
For this project, you will choose to create flash cards, an illustrated dictionary or a flip
book for the vocabulary words in the past and upcoming Geometry unit. Your project
must have the following criteria:
1. Each vocabulary word will be bolded or underlined. For each word, you need to
include:
 The math definition (best to use the definition in the online glossaries
provided)
 A drawing or picture that represents each word. If you are not a good
drawer, you can print out images from the internet. Make sure the picture
is accurate and clear.
Example:
WORD
DEFINITION
Cylinder
A three-dimensional figure
with two parallel,
congruent bases connected
by a curved lateral surface.
PICTURE
2. The project needs to be neat, legible, colorful and attractive. It can be completed
on the computer or by hand. Evidence of effort must be shown. NO PENCIL
MUST BE VISIBLE IN FINAL PROJECT.
3. We will be having a quiz on these words on Monday, April 1st. In addition to
creating this project, you also need to be studying and learning these words.
Points to Remember:
1. Review the rubric to ensure that you are earning all possible points.
2. Use the links provided for definitions. If you cannot find the definition there, then
use an online dictionary but beware of definitions that do not relate to math.
3. Suggestion – do 3-4 words a night starting today. You have TWO WEEKS to
complete this project. Do not wait until the last minute, it will become
overwhelming. Spread out the work so the project is fun, creative and meaningful
not rushed and overwhelming.
