turn a school playground into a hands-on geometry lesson using a Polygon Scavenger Hunt. Students explore their campus identifying 2-D and 3-D shapes, including rectangles, rhombuses, hexagons, spheres, and even a torus.
Along the way they discover:
• tessellations in the soccer net
• rhombus patterns in fences
• rotation and circular motion with playground swings
• real-world examples of geometry everywhere
This activity gets students moving, observing, reasoning, and talking like mathematicians.
🎯 Perfect for:
Upper elementary math
Middle school geometry
