Six 30-minute programs This module builds upon the understandings developed in previous grades. The curriculum includes identifying, describing, comparing, and classifying geometric figures, visualizing and representing geometric shapes with special attention to developing spatial sense, representing and solving problems using geometric models, understanding and applying geometric properties and relationships, developing an appreciation of geometry as a means of describing the physical world, and exploring symmetry. A variety of technologies are incorporated into the lessons. Online resources and activities are presented. Paper cutting activities are also included.
Students explore polyhedrons and investigate the properties of polygons and polyhedrons.
Students draw polygons to measure angles and look for patterns in the relationships of these polygons. Students plot points on a coordinate plane, then apply transformations. Students look for mathematical patterns. Students generate shapes on Geoboards. They explore relationships between polygons as they create a family tree .
