[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Shapes & Constructions Welcome to our new unit on Geometry! In this session, we’re going to discover the point, the line and the plane, and then use our geometry tools to construct shapes, inscribe objects, and explore how geometric figures are built.During our Geometry study unit, we will have special building projects […]

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]All About AnglesWelcome to our session in angles! We get angles when we have intersections of lines and planes, and knowing how to handle them is going to be important because they show up everywhere in geometry. Students will work through a new workbook in addition to having a new in-depth

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Plane Geometry: TrianglesTriangles are the name of the game in this session! We get triangles when we have a shape with three sides and three angles. We notice triangles in the roof on homes, when we stack things in a pyramid, for cars on a truss bridge, the shape of sails

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Plane Geometry: CirclesCircles are figures with no line segments and no vertices, which makes them pretty unique. We’re explore radius, diameter, circumference and area and the relationship between each of these so it’s easy for you to calculate the things you need accurately.We use circles when we calculate surface area, volume,

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Plane Geometry: Rectangles, Parallelograms, Triangles, Trapezoids and Composite FiguresPlane Geometry is the study of two dimensional shapes and figures, and how they relate to each other. This is a large area of geometry, so we’ll be spending extra time getting to know triangles and trapezoids, rectangles and parallelograms, circles and squares,

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Plane Geometry: Similarity In Geometry, two figures are similar if they have the same shape, regardless of the position or orientation of either one. This means the image you see of yourself in the mirror is similar. The image in the mirror is smaller than the original, yet it has the same proportions

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ] Surface Area  In Geometry, surface area is the total outside area from all surfaces of a shape. There are different ways of calculating it, depending on the type of shape. For a cube, we use the area of a square and multiply it by six to get the total surface

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ] Volume  What is volume and how do we use it? Volume is how much 3D space a shape takes up. We first calculate the area of one of the sides, and then extend this calculation to include the length of the object through multiplication. Volume is absolutely everywhere – every time you
