This is a fun assignment for any math class that is studying geometry. My college students even enjoy the activity. The four page handout includes 20 unusual definitions of geometric terms such as "A place where people are sent for committing crimes." Each definition is a play on words or a parody. Twenty-six geometry terms that are possible answers are listed in a word bank, but not all of the words are used in the matching exercise. The students are to choose the word they believe best matches each unusual definition. They then write the letter of their answer on the line provided. An answer key is included. By the way, did you figure out the answer for the definition above? It is "prism".

Kids were totally engaged. Thanks. Made a great "filler" when I needed a 25-minute enrichment on a Friday.

What a great way to introduce and maintain Geometry Vocabulary! Great as a reading component or bell-ringer! All geometry teachers should use this!

Thanks. Some of the parodies might be "corny", but overall, my students like them. At least they laugh in math class.
