(Grades 4-6th) Geometry Fundamentals
Welcome 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 of line symmetry! Let's get started!
Math Class Lesson
These math class lessons will start you out on the right path into our geometry adventure. After watching the math lesson video, continue to practice the concepts using the Geometry Packet, activities, games, projects, word problems... and have fun learning!
Inspiration: Keeping a Math Journal
Learning how to take notes during class is a skill you will learn throughout this course, however I'd like to share a few additional ideas about keeping a journal that might inspire you! Take a look at the structure of each page (don't worry about the artwork as much), and see if this is something your child can duplicate to create their own journal, doing one page for every geometry session.
Geometry Basics Workbook
We will be using the workbook below for the first four sessions of Geometry to introduce you to the main ideas in geometry. You'll be using this one workbook for Sessions #1-4.
Starting in our next geometry session, you'll also have a small packet to work through that goes into more depth with practice problems. You'll do the workbook pages first, and then dive into the packet. (Again, the packet starts in Session #2). You'll have packets for Sessions #2-6.
You will have new workbook pages and a new packet for each session, make sure you complete each one before you move onto the next session. In addition to the content in the workbook, you'll find more videos (below) that cover additional activities, puzzles, and games that you can complete when you've finished the workbook and packets. Let's go!
Geometry Activity: BINGO Game
This is a fun way to learn (and review) the basic names for shapes and ideas in geometry! The first one is all about points, lines, segments, rays, parallel and perpendicular lines and angles. The second game is all about polygons (flat, 2D shapes with straight sides that are fully enclosed). Let's get started!
Geometry Puzzle
BONUS! Geometry Puzzle: The Great Escape
(Craft Project)
Geometry Challenge
Two puzzles in one! The first is a 100-year old classic math problem to get you warmed up, and then spend your time with the second problem, the H-Dots. You can use coins to make it easier to visualize where those last two need to be placed! (Solutions are posted in the following session at the very bottom of the page.)
