  2. TEACHERS, CLICK HERE &READ THIS FIRST! Begin: Write in your Math Journal, “What if there were no squares in the world? What things would have to change?” (Did you remember the square faces on three-dimensional shapes?) GEOMETRY 1

  3. GEOMETRY 2 Plane Figures: “The Quad Squad” There are 3 direction slides for this activity. Get into squads of four or five students each. Select one member to be the Safety Coordinator. Everyone else should be blindfolded. Each blindfolded member of the squad should grasp the rope with both hands. If there are only three blindfolded members, the Safety Coordinator should also grasp the rope. The Safety Coordinator should make sure all the members are spread out along the rope, but the actual distance between them does not matter.

  4. GEOMETRY 2 • The Quad Squad • The safety coordinator (or teacher) calls out the name of a quadrilateral (parallelogram, square, rectangle, rhombus, or trapezoid). The squad attempts to manipulate the rope into the shape of that quadrilateral according to the following two rules: • Only blindfolded members of the squad may speak to each other • Blindfolded members of the squad may move along the rope in any direction they wish. However, no one may remove the blindfold member, let go of the rope, or exchange places along the rope. • When all the blindfolded members of the squad agree that the quadrilateral has been made, they may remove the blindfolds.

  5. GEOMETRY 2 The Quad Squad Discuss ways to improve the process next time. Choose a new safety coordinator and the repeat the activity with a different quadrilateral. Math Journal: Was your squad able to form the shape of each quadrilateral? What strategies did you find useful? Were there any that you started out using and then decided to reject? How did your squad arrive at a plan after the first try?

  6. GEOMETRY 3 • Plane Figures: • “Constructing Polygons” • Make shapes on your geoboard (if available). If you do not have geoboards, draw on geoboard paper. • Make a shape that has: • 4 sides and 4 right angles; 3 sides and 1 right angle; • 4 unequal sides and no right angles; Six right angles; • Two pair of parallel sides and no right angles; Three sides all equal in length; • 6 sides, all equal in length and 3 pair of parallel lines; 3 sides and no sides are equal in length; • 5 sides and one right angle.

  7. GEOMETRY 4 Solid Figures: Purpose: Explore the properties of particular solids by investigating the faces, the edges and the corners of the solids. You Need: solids, such as cubes triangular, square, and rectangular prisms, and square-based, hexagonal-based, and triangular-based pyramids, as well as a collection of boxes you bring in from home. Activity: Take two solid figures, for example, a square prism and a triangular prism. In your Math Journal, answer these questions: “How are these two solids the same?” “How are these two solids different?” There are 5 slides in this activity!

  8. GEOMETRY 4 Solid Figures Continued: Using the following chart, and a set of solids that includes a cube, a triangular prism, a rectangular prism, a square-based pyramid, a triangle-based pyramid, and a hexagonal prism, trace around all the faces of each solid. Then record the results on the chart. Mark each face with chalk or tape as you trace it. Cube Triangular Prism Square-based Pyramid Triangular - based Pyramid

  9. GEOMETRY 4 Solid Figures Continued: Cube Triangular Prism Square-Based Pyramid Triangular- based Pyramid

  10. GEOMETRY 4 Solid Figures Continued: Cube Triangular Prism Square-Based Pyramid Triangular- based Pyramid

  11. GEOMETRY 4 Solid Figures Continued: Now Let’s Play a Game! Cut the names of the solids off the chart and save them. Then cut horizontal strips of the face tracing. You now have all you need for a matching game! Trade with each other and solve the game by matching the correct faces to the correct name.

  12. GEOMETRY 5 Can you name these shapes?

  13. GEOMETRY 5 square rectangle circle triangle rhombus trapezoid hexagon parallelogram Now fill out the following chart

  14. GEOMETRIC FIGURES Name of Figure Number of Sides Number of Angles Will it tessellate? GEOMETRY 6 SQUARE CIRCLE Rectangle Triangle Hexagon Trapezoid Rhombus Parallelogram

  15. GEOMETRIC FIGURES Name of Figure Number of Sides Number of Angles Will it tessellate? GEOMETRY 6 SQUARE4 4 YES CIRCLE NONE none no Rectangle 4 4 yes Triangle 3 3 yes Hexagon 6 6 yes Trapezoid 4 4 yes Rhombus 4 4 yes Parallelogram 4 4yes

  16. GEOMETRY 7 CAN YOU GUESS MY SHAPE? Choose your favorite 3-D shape and write a detailed description in your Math Journal without using the name of the shape. Read your description to a friend and see if she can guess your shape. Choose your favorite 2-D shape and write directions for how to draw the shape, without using the name of the shape. Read your directions to a friend to see if he can draw your shape.

  17. GEOMETRY 8 Tell me how these two polygons are alike. Then tell me how they are different. Take your time and look carefully before writing them in your Math Journal. Fig. A Fig. B Now make a large Venn Diagram in your journal showing the data. A B

  18. TANGRAM GEOMETRY 1 If you do not have a tangram pattern, you may print this one out. reduce slide so that you can see top menu, and click the print button. This is slide #18. You must tell the printer to print only slide 18, or you’ll get all of geometry printed out.

  19. TANGRAM GEOMETRY 2 TANGRAM PROPERTIES Sort a tangram set according to shape. Give the number of each type of piece on the chart that follows. Trace each different shape in your Math Journal on a chart like you see on the following slide. Put a set of seven tangram pieces into a bag. Using only your sense of touch, reach into the bag and try to select the tangram piece that matches the first shape you traced.

  20. TANGRAM GEOMETRY 2 TANGRAM PROPERTIES Remove the piece from the bag and compare its size and shape with your tracing. How did you do? Were you able to find the correct piece? If not,, return the piece you removed to the bag and try again. Continue in the same way until you have matched all of the shapes. Beneath each tracing, write the attributes of that shape that helped you pick it out from all the others in bag.

  21. TANGRAM GEOMETRY 2 Tangram Properties Small Triangle s Large Triangles Medium Triangle Square Parallelogram

  22. TANGRAM GEOMETRY 3 Make a square using all seven tangram pieces. The tangram puzzle is made up of seven pieces. Does that mean the one piece is equal to 1/7 of the whole tangram square? What part of the the whole tangram square is one of the large triangles?

  23. TANGRAM GEOMETRY 3 Make a square using all seven tangram pieces. The tangram puzzle is made up of seven pieces. Does that mean the one piece is equal to 1/7 of the whole tangram square? So what part of the whole tangram square is one of the large triangles? No way! All pieces are not equal in size! 1/4

  44. GEOMETRY Teachers: Using manipulative materials to develop geometric concepts and spatial sense remains important at fourth grade. Exploring materials in a number of different context helps children generalize the concepts taught. Evidence suggests that the development of geometric ideas progresses through a hierarchy of levels. Students first learn to recognize whole shapes and then to analyze the relevant properties of a shape.
