Learning about 2 D shapes and 3 D figures. We have begun or next unit on geometry. Through daily activities your child will explore shapes and figures. Before we learn what the expectations are, it is important to review some important terminology that sometimes differs from language used in the text book.
Properties are words we can use that describe a shape or a figure. The text book uses the word attribute, but based on Ontario Curriculum Expectations we will be using the word properties.
Parallel lines are a pair of lines that are the same distance apart and they will never meet.
Congruent shapes or figures are ones that have the same size and shape. They have equal matching sides and equal matching angles.
Students will be learning the following:
* the names of different shapes and figures
* the different properties of shapes and figures
* how to describe angles of shapes (right angle, greater than or less than a right angle)
* how to sort shapes and figures based on their properties.
* identify congruent shapes and figures
* make pictures and models of shapes and figures
* make structures by using 3-D figures
Geometry is an important part of student's mathematical experience. People with a deep understanding of geometry and good spatial sense will be able to describe the world around them and appreciate the geometry found in art, nature, and architecture.
