GEOMETRY TIME

GEOMETRY TIME 

Raise your hand ✋if you struggled with some aspect of Geometry. Why do you think you did not understand this topic? Was there something you felt as though you didn't fully understand. 

As we have talked about in class many people struggle with different topics in math , however I do believe that the way you were taught by your previous educators has a major impact on how you understand the material even in your adult life. So with that being said I found some very good starting worksheet for 2D/3D shapes that can lead students off with a clear and through understanding. 

CONTENT: GEOMETRY (2-D/3-D SHAPES)

GRADE: 2ND 

COMMON CORE STANDARDS:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.1
Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.1
Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.1 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.

Each worksheet was found on education.com  under the grade level and math section that focuses on geometry. 

REFLECTION:  As I have said in my previous blogs I like to find intriguing worksheets that entice the  students to want to make their learning of mathematics fun. I vividly remember as a child having to copy math problems down and get worksheet with tons of problems on them for the class to complete independently in a certain amount of time. That type of learning is not the norm anymore but I am glad to see that their is more resources in how students learn new math material. 2D/3D shapes can be hard for a student to understand so I want to be a master at this topic so that I can effectively help my students to grasp their full understanding of the different shapes and objects in the world so that they can use this concept and topic later on in their lives.
