I believe in when exploring geometry in elementary school it is important to start with a strong foundation. In my opinion this foundation should start with learning and understanding vocabulary.  Teachers should model using appropriate vocabulary beginning at the early grades to prevent misconceptions. For example, we as teachers should not use terms such a “diamond shape” to describe something. We should use a more proper term such as polygon or rhombus.

Moving on from vocabulary I believe basics such as how to measure area and parameter, how to graph,  and how to measure angles should also be covered in elementary grades.

I think some of the key ideas of geometry that should be covered in elementary grades are all about shapes, measurements, beginners formula, and how to graph things on x and y axis'.

The key ideas for geometry that should be included/covered in elementary grade should include:
*Name of all shapes
*Being able to recreate these shapes 2D and 3D
*How to measure lines, angles, etc.
*How to graph points on the coordinates and knowing where x and y axis are (for 5th and up)
*Understanding different lines: perpendicular, parallel, etc.
*I really like that Brittni put "proper vocabulary" and I'm going to "steal" this and put it into my group as well! :)

Some of the key ideas for geometry that should be included in the elementary school curriculum should include shapes, how to identify shapes, polygons, how to identify polygons, how many sides to each polygon, etc. An example is below.

Some key ideas for geometry that should be covered in elementary grades include:
-Names of the shapes
-Shape properties
-How to measure angles
-Proper vocabulary
and finally relationships between shapes.
