3. Activities to work the different types of Geometry 📊

Here there are some activities to carry out while learning about the different types of geometry:

• Euclidean Geometry:

Students can build basic geometric shapes: triangles, squares, rectangles, etc. using toothpicks and play dough.

• Non-Euclidean Geometry:

Students can explore hyperbolic geometry by creating models of hyperbolic shapes using paper and glue. To explore elliptical geometry students can use something as simple as a ball: if the surface of the call is identified as ‘flat’ or ‘space’, then they can draw a straight line that curves and closes in on itself.

• Analytic Geometry:

Pupils can create coordinate graphs and colour the corresponding points and lines. They would learn how to use x and y coordinates to plot graphs of simple linear functions. The graphs can be about whatever they want, including drawings of different figures.

• Projective Geometry:

Students can use a light box or a window to create shadows of geometric figures and explore how properties change when projected.

• Differential Geometry:

Students would create three-dimensional models of curved surfaces, such as a chair or car, using paper and glue.

Hope you like them and put them to use!
