https://padlet.com/ambercottengeer/noufaqmnwgfy5bj5 What are the key ideas for geometry that should be covered in the elementary grades? en-us 2021-07-19 02:23:50 UTC 2026-01-15 15:46:23 UTC hello@padlet.com ambercottengeer https://padlet.com/ambercottengeer/noufaqmnwgfy5bj5/wish/1654170944 The idea that shapes can be put together to make other shapes, and that one shape could be made through various other shapes.

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]]> 2021-07-19 02:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ambercottengeer/noufaqmnwgfy5bj5/wish/1654170946 ambercottengeer https://padlet.com/ambercottengeer/noufaqmnwgfy5bj5/wish/1654170947 -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.

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.

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.

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. ]]> 2021-07-19 02:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ambercottengeer/noufaqmnwgfy5bj5/wish/1654170955 ambercottengeer https://padlet.com/ambercottengeer/noufaqmnwgfy5bj5/wish/1654170957 Sides

- 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.

This flows into them visualizing shapes in their everyday surroundings. As students get into higher grades they learn that certain shapes have degrees and angles that must be met in order to that specific shape. Obtuse triangle vs. right triangle. Students will learn about lines, surface area of the shape and space it holds. ]]> 2021-07-19 02:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ambercottengeer/noufaqmnwgfy5bj5/wish/1654170964
