Picture Perfect Geometry
You are building a triangular shaped tree house with your friend Alan. While making plans, you
are using several of the terms that you learned in Geometry. You notice your younger brother is
really interested in your work. You are certain that he is well on his way to becoming a genius.
To help him out, you decide you will make a picture book containing several of the terms for him.
Find pictures from the Internet, magazines, or other sources that illustrate real-life examples of
the terms below. Highlight the part of the illustration you are focusing on and provide a definition
he could understand. Correctly label each drawing. You can have more than one term per
drawing but you should have no more than three drawings per side of a page.

Tiering can be accomplished by having some students work in groups (so they will not have so
many to do) or by providing pictures or web sites that they can use.
