Geometric Properties Scavenger Hunt – High School Geometry Activity

For this scavenger hunt, high school geometry students move around the room, solving the problem on each card to find the next clue. They identify and apply geometric properties such as the Segment Addition Postulate, the Angle Addition Postulate, and various properties of equality and congruence.

What’s included

• Question cards: 20 cards, each with a geometric problem involving properties such as the Angle Addition Postulate, Substitution Property and Vertical Angles Theorem
• Student recording sheet: students record their answers and track their progress as they move through the hunt
• Hint sheet: extra guidance for struggling students
• Answer key
• Detailed instructions

How it works

Students solve problems at different stations and follow clues to the next card, working in groups or pairs to solve each one. They stay active for the whole lesson.

Use it for classwork, group activities or review sessions. It can also be adapted for informal assessments or competitions.

Good to know

The activity meets Common Core Standard G-CO.9 and Mathematical Practice Standards MP.2, MP.3 and MP.4.
