Introducing geometry-focused story books is an excellent strategy for helping your students gain a deeper understanding of the subject!

- teaching basic shapes is foundational to support growth into the next levels of geometry.  Two dimensional shapes such as circles, triangles, squares, and other polygons.
- finding shapes in real world examples
- introduction to lines, line segments, angles, vertices,
-relationships that the lines and angles have with one another
- perimeter, area and how to calculate each.
- understanding shapes and the properties of different shapes
-understanding transformation as the students make changes to any given geometric shape
- basic understandings of location on a line or plane or vector
- the ability to visualize in order to create mental images of shapes so that they can be turned and looked at in a child's mind
-creating geometry instruction that allows a progression along van Hiele's levels of geometric thought.
-making sure there is a great deal of practice with manipulatives and geoboards.

-1st, geometry teaches shapes ( square, hexagon, cube)
-Then, it teaches how these shapes can interact, build, and influence each other ( these three triangles create a larger triangle, within this octagon we can fit this square and these triangles, these shapes can grow to form 3 D objects)
-Finally, geometry teaches how these shapes are building blocks, tools, for use in our world ( this angle is great for making a bank shot in pool, this triangle is a time honored tool in masonry and architecture called a Key Stone)

keystone:
The voussoir at the top of
an arch; in vaulting it occurs at
the intersection of the ribs of a
rib vault. It is important structurally since it marks the apex of the
vault

Here is a video I like to use in the computer lab. It reviews the 2-D shapes and then lets the students verbally pick out the shape he is describing. He then goes over the 3-D shapes and shows pictures of real world examples. If I had been able to I would have liked to add a 3-D shapes scavenger hunt. However; the time I was alloted for each class never allowed for it.

Spatial recognition is important for young learners in geometry. This is where they begin to learn about spatial relationships among them and their surroundings. Students also learn shapes and can relate them to things in their everyday lives.

Students start to recognized shapes in their environment.

The foundation of geometry is recognizing shapes.  This is a video that my students loved to watch to help them recognized shapes.

The idea that physical objects students interact with on a daily basis are connected to geometry.
Measurement, angles, dimensions, as well as shape properties are all things I think should be brought up in Elementary school.
The 'building blocks' of life.
(Sorry for my weird looking table.)

-The variety of angles, such as right, acute, obtuse, or straight angles.
-Symmetry: how shapes can be split in two or how not all shapes are symmetrical.
-Angles play an important role in measurement and partitions of shape, which is symmetry. This helps students understand direction and help them develop skills for the future.
-Symmetry is important to teach because it's a skill that can be used in and out of the classroom.

Length: Measurement, longer v. shorter, taller v. shorter
3D v. 2D shapes: real world examples and models
Comparing 2D Shapes: angles, sides, rotation, reflection
Composition of 2D Shapes: angles, sides, vertices
Composition of 3D Shapes: faces, edges, vertices
Simple angles in triangles

The idea that shapes are not flat and have many sides or dimensions.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that shapes can be put together to make other shapes, and that one shape could be made through various other shapes.
