Seeing Shapes in Action

Geometry pops up everywhere, especially in sports and design! Athletes and designers use geometric concepts to plan moves, create spaces, and make things look cool.

In Sports

  • Measuring angles for the perfect basketball shot.
  • Figuring out the area of a soccer field.

In Design

  • Planning the layout for a cool bedroom or skate park.
  • Using symmetry to create appealing art.

Design Tips

  • Draw diagrams to plan projects.
  • Use geometric formulas to calculate space or materials needed.

Examples

  • Calculate the area of a basketball court to know how much flooring is needed.

  • Use symmetry to design a team logo.
