| Identify circumference of a circle.
|
- Provide a variety of circles that can be measured with
circumference and diameter. - Brainstorm with students examples of circles within class or school. - Use graph paper to show perimeter outside and inside circle.
|
- Experiment by measuring a variety of circles that can be
measured with circumference and diameter. - Measure diameters of: flashlight, dog dish, bicycle tire, baseball cap, CD disk, cereal bowl. - Multiply x pi to find circumference. |
|
- Translate measurement of real objects to abstract concept. - Relate to science concepts of surface area of wheels and distribution of weight. - Research early mathematician to find out who worked with circles.
|

| Identify specific types of
quadrilaterals: rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid.
|
- Introduce vocabulary necessary to compare and contrast
different quadrilaterals. - Draw pictures using these shapes: My Geometry World.
|
- Make poster of geometric shapes and show actual places
where shapes are used. - Use terms correctly in every day math work. - Use tangrams to create quadrilateral or other specific polygon.

| Measure, calculate perimeter of regular polygons with a variety of measurements. (fractions, decimals, whole numbers.) | Use graph to illustrate all possible rectangles within a
specific perimeter.
|
Measure a variety of objects (first estimate) using
perimeter.
|
Students work individually to make 6 different quadrilaterals
using only 1 hexagon, 3 parallelograms, 3 trapezoids, and 2 triangles. Draw.
|
Find objects in the classroom with a given perimeter. Ex: 42" (notebook). |

| Calculate the area of
squares and rectangles with a variety of measurements. (i.e., fractions, decimals, whole
numbers) using manipulatives.
|
- Identify terms used with geoboards. - Play Treasure Hunt. Find classroom objects that have given area. Ex: 14 sq. in. = cover of small notepad. |
-Measure the area of a variety of objects. Translate measurements into scaled drawings of shape. | Find area on figure with unusual shape. | - Find object in the classroom with a given
area. Ex: 14 sq. in. (small notepad) - Measure area of polygons other than quadrilaterals. - Use geoboard to find 16 shapes made by using only squares.

| Demonstrate the relationship between
radius, diameter and circumference through concrete models/ activities.
|
|
Make a chart of radius, diameter, circumference of objects and then compare the measurements to the diameter. | Students must successfully identify the relationship between
the three terms.
|
Research early mathematicians to find out who experimented and worked with circles. Prepare presentation to share with appropriate audience. | ||

| Compare angles to right angles. | Discuss objects that have angles in our everyday life (piece of cake, opened car door, legs of chairs, etc.). | - Use a map, protractor, ruler and instruction to draw angles
using previous line segment. - Make constructions using given angles. |
Check constructions on geoboards.
|
