Description
Students are mastering third grade standards in measurement and geometry using digital media at school and at home. More specifically, digital cameras and a video camera provide the opportunity to strengthen the school-home connection by giving students the assignment to find geometric concepts at home which are then shared in class.

Students take photographs at home of concepts studied in class each day. They write captions about each picture. During computer lab, the students work in cooperative groups to upload the pictures into iPhoto to create a slideshow.

Student Learning Outcomes
This student-empowering, hands-on unit helps foster learning for all types of students, especially English language learners. Students are definitely learning – geometry is all around us.
