When two scuba divers discover strange tiles on the ocean floor, it is only the beginning of their search for a long-lost treasure ship. In order to succeed, these teen "sleuths" must employ a wide range of geometric skills, such as tessellations, the relationship between angles and polygons, maps, properties of similar figures, and much more. Students use hands-on materials provided in the kit to work out a complex set of problems based on information in an old Captain's Log, a nautical chart, and on-site measurements. This videokit allows students to use all their problem-solving skills as well as gain a broad introduction to numerous topics in geometry.Also available as part of Curriculum In A Box: Real World Problem Solving
