In small groups or pairs, the class will go around the school and take pictures of many items that they come across. We will come back to the classroom and the measure angles, lines, etc. of the items that they took pictures.

The groups will then create power point presentations sharing the information that they calculated.

This lesson can be adapted for all content areas and additional areas of curriculum.
