2020-2021 IT Club Meeting #3: Geometry Around the Home

A scavenger hunt for objects in different geometric shapes was the Club’s activity for today’s meeting. The geometry teacher would be proud of the fact that the club members could find objects around the house in the form of a rectangles, a square, a cube, a circle, a semi-circle, a pentagon, a cylinder and a few other shapes.  Lots of items were displayed. Here are just a few: cellphones, tablets, laptops, cylindrical-shaped speakers, paper towel packages, protractors, rulers, books, bolts, and so forth.  Everyone found most of the objects in the time allotted.

The members were given 10 minutes to gather a certain number of objects from a list given by Ángel the Club president. Each object had a point value and whoever accumulated the most points would receive a prize (a $5 dollar gift card).  One of our female members won the prize after accumulating 23 points. Congrats to Alana!

Applying knowledge while at play reinforces concepts. Thanks to all those who participated. Hope you enjoyed the activity.  I certainly had fun watching! ~~LMMolina, Club Adviser
