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.

👀 Can you find the Perimeter???👀

Can you tell me the perimeter of this house?  Most adults cannot from the top of their head. Sometimes as the teacher we expect our students to know a lot more than they should. Their brains grow just as much as our adult brains do therefore we have to continue to shape and mold them with new material to sharpen their tools and expand their knowledge.  In order to do this we must start out with the basics and try to help our students build on the tools they already have.  This Perimeter topic can be difficult to some students but as the teachers it is all about how your present the material to help the children who are learning.  Like a wise woman once told me .. " its not what you say , its how you say it" so for teachers the saying is "its not what you teach, its how your teach it ".  Grade : 3rd Grade  Content: Perimeter Common Core Standard : Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter.

Time oh Time ⏰

Whats the Time? ⏰ The aspect of telling time is so important in today's generation. We are so reliant on our smartphones that we have loss the ability to actually look at a clock and tell the time.  As an adult myself I wish my teachers were able to focus in and develop our skills of time telling back when I was in elementary school.   Grade Level: 2nd Grade  Content: Time Telling  COMMON CORE STANDARDS:  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.B.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs.  For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets . Here is a video  from Khan Academy, that breaks down the elements of telling time and gives different examples of telling different time slots.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll3QzXftlS0

Sub-TRACT Thaaaaat 😃

Sub-TRACT Thaaaaat 😃 Subtraction can be very hard for students especially once they move into regrouping. As I stated in  my previous blogs it is important to make sure that your students understanding the basic content of the topic before moving on to other elements that are associated with the material. During an observation for another class I watched a few students struggle with the topic of subtraction. One student said " I just can't get this ! I wish this was easier for me" Immediately , the teacher Mr. Matt came over to the student and said "Let's see how we can break this down for you." - Breaking down the topic /content is the best formula towards helping students expand their knowledge on a topic they are struggling with. Grade Level : 2nd Grade  Content: Subtraction  Common Core Standards : CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.5 Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the rel
