CI 4030-432 Geometry Poetry

Meet my special friend
Look! he only has 3 sides
My friend, Triangle

Haiku by Liddy Matthews, Sarah Robinson, Adrienne Farmer

All geometric shapes have area
Round or square it's there
Eating a lot will give you more of it.
Always double check your measurements.

Acrostic by Adriana Pardo and Rachel Warriner

Using formulas
Solving for missing angles
Sin, cosine, tangent

Haiku by Krista Byrne and Jessica Duck

Examples help :-)
Trapezoid
Rectangular prism
Y and x coordinates

Acrostic by Melody R & Abby H.

Square, sphere, hexagon,
Slide, flip, turn, is how we learn,
Graphing x and y

Haiku by Melody R & Abby H.

Geometry is obtuse,
right angles and hypotenuse.
You can always make a graph,
It's lots of fun when you're doing math.
Geometry is fun throughout the seasons,
especially with proofs and reasons.
It's always so abstract
You can add or subtract.
So remember when in class make sure to always share
especially when dealing with circles and squares

Acrostic by Caroline Keigher and Emilie Schaefer

Math is fun for everyone
Whether you're a boy or a
girl.
Numbers and lines, it happens all the time.
Math is all over the world.

Limerick by Caroline Keigher and Emilie Schaefer

It is all around
Degree, shapes, theorems combined
Study hard and succeed

Haiku by Keara and Ashley

We all need math
It helps us down our path
Don't feel it wrath
Just take a bath
And dream about your math

Rhyming poem by Keara and Ashley

Using angles, curves, and lines
Creating shapes and signs
Learning many ways
To prove theorems every day.
All of this can be
a part of geometry!

Attempting! Rhyming Poem by Ashlyn and Erica

Geometry had me confused,
I wasn't very amused.
It took a lot of time,
drawing all the lines.
The teacher helped me out,
and now I no longer pout.
Now I do it every day,
Using the shapes in many ways.
now that I know how it's done,
geometry is very fun.

Rhyming poem by Jessica Draper and Sara Coulder
