Geometry I: Snow Leopards Look in Circles & Prisms

A snow leopard’s tail is thought to help it with balance and to wrap around itself for warmth in the cold habitat the snow leopard lives in. They love spending time in snowy areas to think about constructing and measuring polygons, measuring circles, solving for volume and surface area, and working with 2D and 3D shapes.
 
Students construct different types of triangles, quadrilaterals, regular polygons, and scaled polygons using specified restraints, and use a ruler and protractor to measure their sides and angles. 
Students build and solve equations in order to solve for the area and circumference of circles. 
Students build and solve equations in order to solve for the volume and surface area of prisms and pyramids. 
Students identify the two-dimensional figure that is the result of slicing a three-dimensional solid with a plane.
