Geometry Scavenger Hunt
Get kids to take abstract photographs and excited about photography by going on a Geometric Scavenger Hunt! Give kids a camera and have them look for shapes. Tell older kids to look for parallel and intersecting lines, as well as right angles. Mary from Guided-Math, had her third graders look for things around their school building hallways. The kids recorded what they took a picture of. Then, she printed out the photos and displayed them in the hall! What an awesomely cool teacher!
