The Role of the Word Wizard
As the expert Word Wizard for your team, you will define vocabulary words that are part of the 5th grade Geometry Strand by using online resources.  Your group members will be counting on you to share with them the knowledge you've gained about Geometry through the eyes of a Word Wizard.  Define the words below to begin your quest of mastering geometry as a Word Wizard. (Use Microsoft Excel and place all of the words in column A and the definitions for each word in column B) Your goal is  to help your fellow game creators produce ONE Fabulous Game to share with the 5th grade students at PW Moore Elementary. How will you suggest for your team to incorporate vocabulary into the game(s)?
