Description

This is a perfect all-season mini-unit study with an outdoor treasure hunt. It introduces students of all ages to shapes, patterns, and numbers in nature with an outdoor treasure hunt looking for circular patterns in nature. It is suggested for all ages since most modern education barely touches on patterns found in nature, a branch of Sacred Geometry. Sacred Geometry describes a mathematical order at the heart of the universe. This series incorporates basic math, geometry, writing, art, and ancient history.

Through nature connections outdoors, students learn to appreciate and open their eyes to nature's patterns and apply nature's template in their own artwork, writing, and mathematical thinking. These activities can be adjusted for any type of learning situation and any age group.

What's included:

  1. 13-slide PowerPoint - introduction to nature's circular patterns including the mysterious Flower of Life design found in ancient art, architecture, and across religions around the world.
  2. 19-page Activity Guide
  3. Web resources: projects, activities, videos

The activity guide includes:

  1. The main outdoor treasure hunt activity
  2. Nature journal guide with questions
  3. Varying age-appropriate Venn Diagram handouts
  4. Large photographs of the author's nature photography of the five SCOCS (spirals, curves, ovals, circles, and spheres) patterns examined.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. For example, partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area, and describe the area of each part as 1/4 of the area of the shape.
Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
