WebQuest

The Case of the Missing Shapes

Process

Ready to find those missing shapes? Let's get started!

Make sure you have a copy of the WebQuest checklist so you can cross off each activity as you do it. We will be doing this WebQuest over the course of our geometry unit, so you may not get everything finished today. Don�t lose your checklist so you will remember what you need to do the next day! The checklist can be printed at the bottom of the page. It is #4.

Also make sure you have your Plane and Solid Figures recording sheet so you can record at least four examples of each figure you find along the way! It can be found at the bottom of the page as well. It is #5. When you finish all of the activities, make sure you have your Missing Shapes Poster Organizer to help you plan out and design your poster. It is #6.
