Unit 6 Geometry

Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

In this unit, students develop ideas about two- and three-dimensional shapes. Students sort, categorize, and name geometric figures. They analyze and describe relationships among the figures while exploring symmetry and congruence.  They will also learn to partition varios shapes into equal sized parts

Standards:

• 2.MG.3 The student will identify, describe, and create plane figures (including circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles) that have at least one line of symmetry and explain its relationship with congruency. 

• 2.MG.4 The student will describe, name, compare, and contrast plane and solid figures (circles/spheres, squares/cubes, and rectangles/rectangular prisms). 

• 2.NS.3 The student will use mathematical reasoning and justification to solve contextual problems that involve partitioning models into equal-sized parts (halves, fourths, eighths, thirds, and sixths). 

Skills:

1. Line Of Symmetry
2. Compare & Contrast Plane & Solid Figures
