https://padlet.com/kmklinedinst/qw5pxuf0la94qw3k What are the key ideas for geometry that should be covered in the elementary grades? en-us 2021-07-19 01:43:19 UTC 2025-03-09 13:40:33 UTC hello@padlet.com kmklinedinst https://padlet.com/kmklinedinst/qw5pxuf0la94qw3k/wish/1654097735 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 01:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmklinedinst/qw5pxuf0la94qw3k/wish/1654097739 kmklinedinst https://padlet.com/kmklinedinst/qw5pxuf0la94qw3k/wish/1654097740 -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 01:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmklinedinst/qw5pxuf0la94qw3k/wish/1654097754 kmklinedinst https://padlet.com/kmklinedinst/qw5pxuf0la94qw3k/wish/1654097755 Sides

-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)

- 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.
