Geometry Grades 4-6th

[am4show have=’p156;p157′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ](Grades 4-6th) Geometry FundamentalsWelcome to our new unit on Geometry! In this session, we’re going to discover points, line segments, rays, angles, and arrange these into different orientations like parallel, perpendicular, and special types of intersections. We’ll also put these things together to create quadrilaterals, triangles and discover the beautiful world […]

[am4show have=’p156;p157′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Rectangles & Parallelograms, Triangles & TrapezoidsA shape is defined by an outline or boundary of an object, and can have three sides (triangle), four sides (rectangle), five (pentagon), and more! A quadrilateral  is a 2D shape with four sides, and we’ll be studying different types of these during our session, including

[am4show have=’p156;p157′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Composite ShapesA shape created with two or more basics shapes is called a composite shape. There are many ways to break down complex (compound) shapes into simpler shapes. The main idea is when we need the area (or volume) of a complex shape, we first break it down into simpler components that

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.Every time you drill a hole, bounce a ball, ride a

You need enough paint to coat the outside surface, right? That’s surface area! The surface area of a 3-dimensional (3D) shape is the total number of units, like centimeters (cm2) or inches (in2),  needed to

[am4show have=’p156;p157′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]VolumeWhat 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 fill a
