Kite Competition!

• It’s the annual kite building competition and this year you’re going to take home first prize! Now your kite not only needs to look good but also be geometrically correct! The Judges use to be math teachers so they are going to look to make sure your kite has all the properties it should.

Let’s make a kite to explore with

• On patty paper, draw two connected segments of different lengths, as shown. Fold through the endpoints and trace the two segments on the back of the patty paper.

Let’s build our kites

• Ok, now that you know the properties of a kite you need to make a blue print of what your kite is going to look like. Design on your piece of paper the kite you would build. Remember it has to be geometrically correct!
