Geometry Performance Task
Your task is to design a map that includes several different kinds of lines, angles, and triangles.
Your map can be of a town, your neighborhood, or an imaginary place. It must however
include the following:
· Two sets of streets that are parallel.
· Two sets of streets that are perpendicular.
· One street that intersects another street to form an obtuse angle.
· One street that is a line segment.
· One street that is a line.
· One street that is a ray.
· An ice cream parlor made of a four sided shape.
· A pool that must include an acute angle.
· A pizza place with more than five sides.
· A flag pole on a point.
· Your map must also include a compass rose.
Remember to label your map with street and business names.
Once your map is completed, you are to write out two sets of directions from one place to
another. Each set of directions must have one of these terms: parallel, intersecting, or
perpendicular. These directions should be able to get your teacher and classmates from one
place to another without getting lost!
Be prepared to share your map with the class!
