Geometry Manipulatives Kedra Smith MAT/157 October 23‚ 2014 Leslie Blackerby Geometry Manipulatives The geometry manipulative activity that I have come up with is one that will be rather informative and intriguing at the same time. The concept of the game will be for children to become familiar with all of the geometry shapes there are so that when future assignments are given they will be able to identify the shape and be successful in their learning. The activity that I have created is called

need to be made aware of the fact that the study of geometry arose in response to certain human needs. They should know about the use of geometry in our daily or real life. In this project‚ students will discover situations in daily life where geometrical concepts can be used effectively. In particular we find situations where the properties of similar triangles are useful and how to find height and distance of any object with the help of geometry and trigonometry. Objective

Geometry in Everyday Life Geometry in everyday life Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300bc‚ when the Greek mathematician‚ Euclid gathered what was known at the time; added original work of his own and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called Elements. Geometry was recognized to be not just for mathematicians. Anyone can benefit from the basic learning of geometry‚ which is to follow the lines reasoning. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and is concerned with questions

They were just excited about hearing a simple story of a

Geometry (Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth"‚ -metron "measurement") is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape‚ size‚ relative position of figures‚ and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer. Geometry arose independently in a number of early cultures as a body of practical knowledge concerning lengths‚ areas‚ and volumes‚ with elements of a formal mathematical science emerging in the West as early as Thales (6th Century

Geometry is important for many reasons. It is used in almost all bases of life‚ including shopping‚ driving‚ work‚ and especially school. It is used most all the time too‚ not just every now and then‚ more like all the time. Geometry is used while shopping at the store. You use it to pick out an item that is not dented.
