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 19:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaruffner14/sbzq25v21hkhr9ep/wish/1655066094 John Patrick King amandaruffner14 https://padlet.com/amandaruffner14/sbzq25v21hkhr9ep/wish/1655066095 -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.

This is where they begin to learn about spatial relationships among them and their surroundings.

-Then, it teaches how these shapes can interact, build, and influence each other.
-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.)]]> 2021-07-19 19:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaruffner14/sbzq25v21hkhr9ep/wish/1655066107 Kelly Klinedinst amandaruffner14 https://padlet.com/amandaruffner14/sbzq25v21hkhr9ep/wish/1655066108 - 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.
- introduction to lines, line segments, angles, vertices,
-relationships that the lines and angles have with one another

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 19:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaruffner14/sbzq25v21hkhr9ep/wish/1655066110 Krista Watson amandaruffner14 https://padlet.com/amandaruffner14/sbzq25v21hkhr9ep/wish/1655066112 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 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.

*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.

-Students should know how to find perimeter and area of shapes with right angles
-Students should know how to use rulers and protractors
