Buried Treasure


The geometry teachers collectively modified a common project for the construction unit of the course.  The theme is to use the given clues, along with students' skills in construction, to locate several buried treasures on an island.  Mr. G. and his friend Chris put together this amazing map which the students loved.  The activity took two days to complete.  Skills involved included: using protractors and compasses, measuring segments and angles, copying segments and angles, and using spatial reasoning skills.
