Mathematical Scavenger Hunt
Pre AP Geometry
Due Date ___________
Mathematics surrounds you in everyday objects and reading material. This is a
scavenger hunt to find mathematical – related objects. To complete this scavenger hunt,
find at least 20 of the items listed. You cannot use the Geometry textbook to get the
samples because the purpose of this project is to find samples in a variety of places. You
cannot draw your samples by hand or computer.
The samples should be presented in the form of a power point project. Use a
theme or a story in the presentation of your project.
Please work in groups of two, credits should be given as part of your program to
each person’s contribution. You may choose to work alone if you prefer not to partner.
