Geometry Map Project By ejs

This is an assignment I gave to my middle school students:

Geometry Map Project
Angles, Lines and Triangles


Your task is to design a map that includes several different kinds of lines, angles and triangles.

Your map can be of a town, your neighborhood or a made up place. It must however include the following: - Two sets of streets that are parallel - Two sets of streets that are perpendicular - One street that intersects another streets to form an obtuse angle - One street intersects another to form an acute angle - One street that is a line segment - One street

that is a line
- One street that is a ray
- An ice cream parlor in the shape of an equilateral triangle
- A Pool that is in the shape of a scalene triangle
- A Pizza Place in the shape of a Isosceles triangle
- Your map must also include a compass rose

Once your map is completed you are to write out five directions from one place to another. Each direction must have one of these terms: parallel, intersecting or perpendicular. These directions should be able to get your teacher and classmates from one place to another without getting lost!
