Ideas for Activities in Photo-Sharing--In Math?

Activities for Photo-Sharing in Math Class

Here are plans for a couple of photo-sharing activities in my Math for Elementary Teachers Class:
Activity 1:  Similar Figures versus Congruent Figures
Description:  Take a tour around your town or city with your digital camera or cell phone.  Take at least 10 photos of architecture which displays similar figures and congruent figures. Tag your photos with where the photo was taken and what is being displayed in the photo—is it an example of similar figures or congruent figures?  Upload your photos to the site…
Activity 2:  Ancient Numbering Systems
Description:  Find photos of Babylonian, Mayan and Roman numbering systems on the Internet.  Share via the Discussion Board with a brief description of what these numbers mean in the photo.
