The Stained-Glass Window Project
One of the most beautiful applications of geometry can be found in the skilled art of
stained-glass window design.
You will create your own stained-glass window design. You will need to create your
practice sketch on 8 ½ x 11 paper. You will then color it exactly how you are going to
paint it. This sketch will be the guide you follow under the glass. You will then place
the sketch under the glass and paint your design.
The design must include each of the following figures:
Acute triangle
Complimentary Angles
Corresponding angles
Equilateral Triangle
Reflex Angle
Alternate Interior Angles
Isosceles Triangle
Obtuse triangle
Parallel Lines
Intersecting Lines
2 Congruent figures
Perpendicular lines
Regular Polygon
Rhombus
Right Triangle
Scalene Triangle
Straight angle
Supplementary Angles
Trapezoid
Vertical Angles
Same-Side Interior Angles
Adjacent Angles
Please note that you may have more than one of the figures in your diagram. These are
the minimum requirements.
Directions for Project:
1. Complete the geometry terms assignment by filling in the geometry glossary
sheet. (Knowledge & Comprehension)
2. Create the rough draft and get this approved by me. (Application & Synthesis)
3. Get your rough draft photocopied (by me).
4. Color one rough draft with markers, pencil crayons, crayons, etc. Outline the
lines in black marker.
5. Paint your design on the glass provided and frame it.
6. Exchange your uncolored rough draft with a partner. Each of you will assess each
other’s designs and check for all of the required terms. Use the color guide
discussed in class (i.e. use red stars when you locate vertical angles, outline the
scalene triangle in green etc.) (Analysis & Evaluation)
SUGGESTION: You may want to research stained glass patterns on the Internet to get
ideas for your pattern. Any websites, books etc. done for research may be included with
your project. Your design does not have to be a perfect symmetric pattern. However,
these do enhance the final outcome of your project. HAVE FUN & BE CREATIVE!

GEOMETRY GLOSSARY
Directions: Place the required terms in the geometry glossary that were on the
instruction sheet. Please keep the terms in the same order as listed in class. You will
provide a definition, an example, and an application for each term. Your mark will
reflect how complete your definitions are and the quality of your examples and
illustrations. Be neat!

NOTE: If you hand in one portion of the project late, you will obtain zero for that
portion. However, it still must be completed before you can continue with the project.
Therefore, it is important to make sure that you meet all of the deadlines that we set!
