One Shape to Fit All

Driving Question: How one shape can fit different holes?

Introduction:

Geometry emphasizes rules and patterns that can be found in shapes. These rules often overlap to collaborate and support the other's structure and shape. For this project, I will make a shape that will be able to fit three-different shaped holes, a triangle, a square, and a circle.

Materials:

Paper
Scissors
Tape
Ruler

Pictures of my Project:

Main Idea:

Geometric principles can overlap and be applied in many different ways

Key Words

Height: The measured tallness of a figure
Diameter: The measured width of a circle

Formulas, Charts, Graphs:

I will not be using any of these.

1. What is the most important reason fitting one shape to the different holes?

Efficiency. The modern world is characterized by speed and efficiency, being able to gather simple ideas and incorporate them so that they complement one another is valuable skill. This project is a small, yet significant representation and practice of this type of critical thinking.
