Geometry with Great White Sharks

Did you know Great White sharks can smell blood from 5km (3.1 miles) away, swim up to 56 kph (35 mph), and can sense electrical fields in water? They can! And they only can because they know geometry. 
 
Through in-class activities and independent practice, students will:
Students measure angles by using the relationship between rotation and angle measurement
students construct different types of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons, and use a ruler and protractor to measure side lengths and angles
Students represent hierarchical relationships as they classify geometrical figures that have up to 3 dimensions
