Dream Park

ND State Standard
3.GM.G.1 In two-dimensional shapes, identify lines, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines.

Two dimensional shapes include quadrilaterals and right triangles.

Create a fantastic park filled with exciting shapes and angles! Use your imagination and geometry skills to design a fun and safe space for everyone.

Your Tools:

• Ruler or straight edge

• Graph paper (optional, but helpful for drawing straight lines)

Park Essentials: Your park must include these geometric features:

• Intersections:

  • Two sidewalks crossing to create a wide angle (obtuse)

  • Two sidewalks crossing to create a sharp angle (acute)

• Special Lines:

  • Two sidewalks running side-by-side without crossing (parallel)

  • Two sidewalks crossing at a perfect corner (perpendicular)

  • A long, straight sidewalk leading to the ice cream parlor

• Shapeful Buildings:

  • Ice cream parlor shaped like a diamond (rhombus)

  • Swimming pool shaped like a rectangle

  • Hot dog stand shaped like a square

  • Two restrooms shaped like hexagons (shapes with six sides)

  • Merry-go-round shaped like a circle

  • Another fun play area shaped like a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) that’s not a diamond, rectangle, or square

Remember: 

• You can add more shapes, lines, and angles to make your park even more amazing!

• Label your shapes and angles to keep track of what you've included.

• Have fun and be creative! Your dream park awaits!
