Math Detective: __________________________
Nov - Dec, 2013
Create a Geometry Vocabulary power point showing the following math vocabulary.
Look on the internet and find real life images in the world (people, buildings, art,
sports and nature) to show these math words.
You can download the power point template, power point example, and this paper
on my website, files.
Each slide must have the word with the definition and a picture in the real world
showing the math vocabulary. The slide must also include the http addresse.
