| Abstract | Geometry is an area in which Australian students performed particularly poorly on the 2007 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). One innovative area of recreational geometry that has rich potential to engage and challenge a wide variety of students is "impossible geometry." An impossible geometric object is a two-dimensional drawing that gives the impression of a viable three-dimensional figure, which in fact cannot exist. It is thus an optical illusion where the misperception requires careful analysis to detect and explain. In this article, the authors describe an impossible-geometry lesson where two high school classes in different Northern Nevada school districts explore the concept of impossible geometry before creating their own impossible object. The authors provide lesson-implementation details, sample student work, and student response to the lesson. The intent of this lesson is to have students explore connections between two- and three-dimensional figures. (Contains 6 figures and 13 online resources.) (ERIC). |
