Geometry Webquests

Geometry students:  Here are links to a few Webquests that I think you would be interested in working on over the next week.  A Webquest is an assignment completed on the computer using the internet.  All Webquests give you directions, a task, resources, and how you will be graded.  Disregard the point values on these Webquests because ours will be a little different.  You are more than welcome to work on your own or with a partner.  You can choose one of the ones I chose or you can choose another one from the list that you think you will be interested in.  I suggest you take this work seriously because it will count towards your grade.  


Here is a list of Webquests
