Geometry Supplies

Help me give my students compasses, inflatable globes and paper cones for exploration geometry.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kinney's classroom raised $205

This project is fully funded

My Project

These supplies will be used to teach geometry clearly and to examine concepts such as constructions, surface area, and geography. For example, the compasses are good strong ones for creating both problem answers and artistic works. The globes work well both for learning surface area and for examining how triangles on a sphere may not have angles that sum to 180 degrees. And the cones work well for examining both surface area and volume of conical shapes.

When I use the compasses, students create a project about their imaginary island using at least 5 constructions they learn in class and describing it.

The projects are then hung up around the room for inspiration and are always beautiful.
