Prior knowledge: Basic understanding of geometric shapes and angles.
Activities
Research different jewelry designs and identify the geometric shapes and angles present in each design.
Choose a specific jewelry design that you find interesting and sketch it on paper, labeling the geometric elements.
Measure and calculate the dimensions of the different geometric elements in your design using a ruler, compass, and protractor.
Add color and shading to your jewelry design using colored pencils or markers.
Present your finished jewelry design to someone else, explaining the geometric concepts and elements you incorporated.
