Hora de juego de geometría semanal - Nivel 1

This is a fun game style class. Each week we will touch on a different topic/area of Geometry either through a hands-on activity or a game. The topics covered will always be introduced/reviewed before students are expected to interact with them. In some cases concepts will be explained along the way to make more sense. Themes cover the vocabulary and topics typically taught in grades 3-4. 

Some of the topics we will touch on are:

1. Geometry basics (parts of shapes, what later becomes known as attributes).
2. Geometry terms (words that are specific to geometry like point, line, parallel, perpendicular, etc.)
3. Area and Perimeter (what they are, the formulas, how we use them)
4. Attributes of plane shapes (2 dimensional shapes, polygons)
5. Attributes of solid figures (3 dimensional objects)
6. Categorizing polygons and 3D shapes
7. Creating 3D figures using Nets
8. The Cartesian Grid (what is it, how we label it, reading points, graphing points and simple objects)
9. Lines, Rays, and Angles
10. Triangles (types, categorizing, comparing)

Projects will be discussed the week before and a list of materials and supplies sent out to parents ahead of time. There will always be an alternative game or project for any learner who cannot get the materials necessary, and I always have a couple games that work for individual learners so I will never cancel for low enrollments!

If your learner sticks with the class for all 10 lessons (some lessons take two weeks), they will have all the Geometry skills they need to conquer 4th grade and be ready for 5th grade!
