Build a Polygon | Education.com - 1 views

  • Geometry has never been so engaging! In this activity, players will practice drawing shapes, measuring, and finding perimeter. The goal is to create as many polygons as possible, and it's trickier than it sounds!

      Extension: This game could include letters (A,B,C) to represent the sides of the polygon, so that the student could put the measurements into an equation. Adaptations: Gifted students could help peers who struggle with finding perimeter or measuring.  ELL students would benefit from the drawing in this activity and use of deck of cards which provide pictures.

      You could tag this activity for "measurement" since it involves perimeter and measuring with centimeter rulers.

    CCS: 3.MD.5 & 8 This activity will really show the difference in perimeter and area in a very hands on way. It really shows what "area" really is.

      4.G.1  Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular and parallel lines.   Identify these in two-dimensional figures. Differentiation: Pair an ELL student with a classroom "buddy."  This person can help to model the game and walk the student through the directions.  By modeling the game for the ELL student, the other student will be re-affirming their knowledge in the subject.

    This activity will help students find perimeter and area.  Students will draw a card from a bag and then use a colored pencil to draw that shape.  After time, students may flip or rotate their figures to fit on the board but figures may not overlap.  This activity makes students pay attention to precise angles and makes them think critically about a shapes sides and angles when rotating or flipping.

      Fun activity for fourth grade!  Kids love to think of real life solutions.  Who knows?  Maybe they COULD design a real garden for the school!  Advanced students could ponder the logistics of HOW to actually make this happen and students needing additional assistance could work in small groups or with the teacher.

Understand Volume Using Sugar Cubes | Education.com - 1 views

      For the more advanced students you could place them in pairs and one of the students would create a shape and their partner would then have to find the volume. Students could also find the area of the sides or the perimeter. This activity could also be used when students do not understand the concept of volume. You could start the activity very slow with simply finding the volume of one cube and then gradually make the volumes more complex.
