Grade 4 Unit 8 Geometry

Unit 8 Geometry


Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

Students compare and contrast all the components that are needed to create geometric figures such as line segments, points, and angles. They expand their knowledge of identifying, describing, comparing, and contrasting plane and geometric figures. This knowledge is applied to exploring properties of quadrilaterals.

Standards:

  • 4.MG.4 The student will identify, describe, and draw points, rays, line segments, angles, and lines, including intersecting, parallel, and perpendicular lines. 
  • 4.MG.5 The student will classify and describe quadrilaterals (parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, and/or trapezoids) using specific properties and attributes. 
  • 4.MG.6 The student will identify, describe, compare, and contrast plane and solid figures according to their characteristics (number of angles, vertices, edges, and the number and shape of faces), with and without models.

Skills:

  1. Identifying Points, Lines, Line Segments, Rays, Angles Including Endpoints and Vertices
  2. Intersecting, Parallel, and Perpendicular Lines
  3. Plane and Solid Figures
  4. Quadrilaterals
  5. Geometric Patterns
