Building Blocks of Geometry

Students will be introduced to point, line, and plane, the building blocks of geometry, and use them to develop an understanding of new terms, including line segment,  intersecting lines, parallel lines and perpendicular lines. Students will participate in a Building Block Scavenger Hunt, using paper and pencil to draw examples of specified terms that they find outside of the math classroom. The students will compose a poster to display their images of the required terms.
