Math, Naturally.
Use these pictures from nature to identify 10 geometric concepts. Number your paper 1-10. In each
numbered spot you must state which picture your concept comes from (A,B or C), draw what your concept
looks like in the picture, and give a full definition in complete sentences of your concept.
Picture C
Can You See What I See?

measure of <PMO.
and the measure of <QMN.
3. If <3=6x+8 and <5=5x+12, solve for x.
4. If <4=2x and <5=5x+12, solve for x.

Directions:
Label the following on the paper provided for you, using only COLORED PENCIL or CRAYON.
In figure A…
Outline an acute angle in blue.
Outline an obtuse angle in purple.
Outline a right angle in green.
Put an orange star in two complementary angles. (the two complementary angles you choose should have
orange stars)
Put a red dot in two adjacent angles. (the two adjacent angles you choose should have red dots)
In figure B…
Label a pair of alternate interior angles with blue dots.
Label a pair of consecutive interior angles with green stars.
Label a pair of alternate exterior angles with purple hearts.
Label a pair of corresponding angles with orange squares.
Label a pair of vertical angles with red dots.
Label a pair of supplementary angles with pink stars.
In figure C…
Shade an isosceles triangle in blue.
Shade an equilateral triangle in orange.
Outline 2 right triangles in green.
Outline a quadrilateral in purple.
In figure D…
Draw an altitude in orange. (Make sure I can tell its an altitude!)
Draw a bisector in green. (Make sure to label things that are congruent!)
Draw a median in blue. (Make sure to label things that are congruent!)
Rhyme Time
Use the list of words provided in the folder to make 3 “What Am I?” rhymes. There are 3 examples given for
you below. You may not use the examples but you may use the term they are describing to make your own.
Be creative and original!!
“I may remind you of an airplane in flight.
I make a right angle, and I’m a triangle’s height.
What am I?”
(Altitude)
“I am a special type of angle, but not vertical you see.
My name means there’s an angle right beside me.
What am I?”
(Adjacent)
“For problems involving me, you use proportions the most,
I am not congruent, although I am close.
What am I?”

Triangle Box Origami
Complete the following, step-by-step, to create a origami triangle box.
Instructions:
1. Start with a square piece of paper, plain side up.
Fold the paper in half.
2. Fold the top corners toward the bottom point,
then open to create these creases.
3. Fold both layers of the bottom point up to the top
of the model, then open.
4. Fold both layers of the bottom point up to the top
of the model, then open.
5. Insert one unit inside the other, then link the
units all together.
Illustration of Instruction:
(Dotted lines are creases)
