-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.

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.

-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)

This flows into them visualizing shapes in their everyday surroundings.

Students will learn about lines, surface area of the shape and space it holds. ]]> 2021-07-24 23:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/moseleyalyson22/i2e4idul3lvbp96n/wish/1660090343 Krista Watson moseleyalyson22 https://padlet.com/moseleyalyson22/i2e4idul3lvbp96n/wish/1660090344 Key ideas for geometry that should be covered in the elementary grades...

- Students should be able to not only identify shapes but communicate their properties and vocabulary. 
- Students should be able to connect geometry to the "real world" and how it correlates to every day life. 
- Students should be able to connect to geometry in early years whether they know they're using geometry or not. For example playing with triangles and angles. 
-Students should learn geometry because it correlates with other types of math (e.g. algebra).
- Students should be able to use geometry not just in math class but in visual arts, science and various other subjects. Math is everywhere and holds true for geometry, as well!

*They should be able to identify, draw basic geometrical shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and polygons and be able to identify those shapes in their everyday life.
*Know what an angle is and start to identify the 6 different types of triangles.
*Learn measurements of shapes-area, circumference, volume.
*Know that shapes have dimension to them.

They should also be able to identify, describe,  and name different types of angles. By 5th or 6th grade, I would also expect them to know the rules regarding angles (i.e., angles around a single point equal 360 degrees or alternate/corresponding angles are equal). I would hope they've developed an awareness of where that knowledge mightcome in handy in every day life such as when working with blue prints.]]> 2021-07-24 23:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/moseleyalyson22/i2e4idul3lvbp96n/wish/1660090352 Ronald Hunter moseleyalyson22 https://padlet.com/moseleyalyson22/i2e4idul3lvbp96n/wish/1660090353 Key Ideas that should be covered in the elementary grades:

- Shapes: what makes a shape a certain shape (it has 3 sides, 3 vertices, it is a triangle), the names of each shape, being able to identify those shapes in our world (a window is a square/rectangle), 2D v. 3D, Similarity v. Congruence

- Angles: acute, obtuse, right; an angle is created when two lines meet; in regard to shapes, the point where the lines meet is called a vertex; using protractors to determine the degree of the angle(s)

- Lines: Parallel and perpendicular
- Symmetry 
- Measurements: Area, Perimeter, Volume, etc.]]> 2021-07-24 23:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/moseleyalyson22/i2e4idul3lvbp96n/wish/1660090353 Ashley Cardillo moseleyalyson22 https://padlet.com/moseleyalyson22/i2e4idul3lvbp96n/wish/1660090354 students should be able to identify shapes by name correctly and be able to describe them.

Students should be able to recognize shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, and rhombuses in the lower grades. Students should also become familiar with lines and angles. Students should specifically know the difference between acute, obtuse, right, and straight angles. Key vocabulary terms associated with geometry in elementary grades include midpoint, bisect, perpendicular, complementary, and many more. Please see the below links for more information.
