1 hour per week. Learners will have the opportunity to draw the figures we learn about in class and share these drawings with me. Practice drawings to use on the final project can be turned in throughout the class.Projects
There will be one final project that all learners will be encouraged to complete, an imaginary town map. We will work toward this goal throughout the class, and we will have one class period designated for working on and getting help creating this project. Additional time outside class may be needed to complete the project.Assessment
I will verbally check for comprehension during each class period to ensure that students understand the elements we study. The final project will show all of the elements studied throughout the course. I will complete a written assessment following a rubric for all final projects that are sent to me via photograph.Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 5
Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this class students will learn about the foundational elements of planar geometry through brief lectures and interactive lessons. An interactive notebook will be created by each student to keep as a future resource. Classroom activities will include: ~ Short lectures with PowerPoint slideshows ~ Completion of a page of notes in an interactive notebook ~ Games or activities to check for comprehension ~ Use of the whiteboard function to practice creating and identifying geometric figures ~ Complete drawings that use the figures discussed in class
Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify, classify, and draw the elemental figures in planar geometry including lines, triangles, and quadrilaterals.Students will be able to use mathematical concepts in creative ways to complete drawings.Syllabus
