LESSON PLAN 2- GEOMETRY SCAVENGER HUNT
I. Grade Level: Geometry (High School)
II. Topic: All Geometry Topics
III.
Standards: All (G.1- G.13)
The student will use Geometry terms to find real life applications.

IV.
Objective:
The student will use the knowledge they have acquired in the Geometry course to find real life
applications and pictures of common terms used in Geometry.

Students will put their pictures in a power point presentation and present it to the class.

This will require the students to use Microsoft PowerPoint and practice their presentation skills.
V.
Materials:
Paper, Pencil, Computer, Camera and Scavenger Hunt List
VI.
Procedures:
The students have been taught all of the Geometry terms throughout the year.
Students will find real life pictures (pictures cannot be staged) and put them into a PowerPoint
presentation.
1. Instructional Set (how the activities will be introduced):
The teacher will explain the project and pass out the directions. The teacher will explain that
the pictures cannot be staged, and they must be found in real life context. Then the students are to put the
pictures into a PowerPoint. The students must have the name of the Geometry term and the definition on
every slide. Students will be graded on the actual slides and how they present their slides to the class. The
students must find at least thirty of the fifty terms. They can find extra pictures for extra credit.
2. Developmental Activities:
1. Instruction: The students will be broken up into groups of two or three students.
a. They will take pictures of the Geometry terms assigned.
b. Then students will import pictures to the computer.
2. Guided Practice: The students will work on putting their pictures into the PowerPoint
presentation. The teacher will walk around the classroom to make sure the students are
not having any technical difficulties.
3. Independent Practice: The students will work in their group practicing their
presentation using the smart board.
3. Closure: The groups will present their PowerPoint’s to the class.
VII.
Diversity / Differentiation for Exceptionalities:

A. Learning Styles (modalities / multiple intelligences) – Students will be in groups of two to three
depending on class size. Students who do not feel comfortable working with others can work
alone. The groups can break up the project how they see fit, as long as everyone has an equal
part. Some students may feel more comfortable finding the definitions or working with the
computer.
B. Gifted – These students will be paired with the weaker students
C. LEP - These students could have a person in their group who is a translator or friend to help
them out.
D. LD, ED, ADD – These students will be placed in a group with the gifted students
E. Multicultural Connections – The student’s are free to find any pictures they want. So some
students will find pictures that display their heritage.
VIII. Evaluation: The students will be evaluated as a group on their presentations, as well as their slide
content and design.
IX.
Risk Analysis: Computer glitches and Internet connectivity issues are probably the main issues that
would be addressed in this lesson. Usually when computer issues arise, the teacher will try to
disconnect and reconnect the computer to the Internet. If this does not resolve the issue, the students
will get another computer. The students may have questions along the way dealing with their photos.
They can have the teacher look at their pictures to see if they match the Geometry term to maximize
their points.
*** Attached is the list of terms for the Geometry Scavenger Hunt.

PowerPoint Design


The presentation should start with a title slide with “Geometry Scavenger Hunt” and
the name of the presenter(s).
Each slide should have a different term on the slide with the name of the term, the
definition and picture.
Presentation Requirements
 The presenter(s) should read the slide to the class.
 Then the presenter must outline where in the picture the term is, using the stylus
pen on the smart board.
