Make Geometry Creatures! | Education.com - 3 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Even though this activity is mainly for 3rd and 4th grades it can be changed to work with every grade level K-6. For older grades you could change the activity to include a wider variety of shapes/concepts. For younger students you could use basic shapes and have them create a picture with them without writing the words. This activity could be linked to writing. Students could create a picture with their shapes and then write a story about their picture. You would be connecting langauge arts with math. For ELLs put them with a native English speaker and have the ELL make the picture but have the native English speaker write the words or story for the picture.

    Students create pictures using geometric shapes, they then will write down the shapes that they used. This puts puts math together with art.
  •  
    CCS:3.G.1 Great for learning the name of shapes. You can also incorporae following directions if you give tem steps to follow in making their creatures. You can also allow the stdents to be the leader in giving out directions to make the creatures.

Take a Scavenger Hunt for Shapes! - 1 views

  •  
    We live in a world of shapes. That window in the living room is also a square, that steaming bowl of chili is a circle, and the bed your son regularly refuses to sleep in at night is a rectangle. Learning to identify and categorize different geometric shapes is a big goal for early learners

      MA.1.4 2000 - GeometryStudents identify common geometric shapes, classify them by common attributes, and describe their relative position or their location in space.
  •  
    review basic shape terms that will be especially useful in math later on, when kids move to studying three dimensional shapes and early geometry. Great for Kinesthetic learners
  •  
    Children use this Twister game as a way to learn their shapes. The children design the game board by drawing several different shapes. A spinner is made, and directions are given to the children playing. Each child puts their hand or foot on the space designated to them by the directions.

      This would be a great activity to add to an ELL lesson that is enriching geometry simply because you can work on English math vocabulary while also learning/reviewing geometric shapes.

      This would be great to increase math vocabulary for ELL students by adding this to a lesson on geometric terms. It would be great to do at the end to make sure that students have a clear understanding of the math lingo.

    2.G.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.5 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. You would have to make your own calling cards for shape names
  •  
    Sticky Note: You would be able to use this as a great math review game for ELL math vocabulary

      In order to assess this activity the teacher could request that certain shapes be used and then ask the student to point them out.  i.e. "Where is your hexagon?"
  •  
    A creative activity that requires children to draw geometric shapes.

      To help make conncetions, show children "real world" examples of a torus before you begin the lesson. For example, familiar tools, shapes in nature or buildings.
  •  
    Cutting Geometric shapes and identifying unique properties, such as a torus (whole in the shape) for finding surface area.

      Extension: Change X's and O's with historical figures, geometric shapes from another culture, etc. (representational symbols can vary) Adaptations: Use pictures for grid and small groups for this activity (2-4) to help ESL and Special Ed students. Give more time to solve math problems for Special Ed students.
