Geometry Fun!

Happy Friday! :)

We just wrapped up our geometry unit this week so we thought we would post what we've been doing!

Here are the anchor charts from the last two weeks:




Some highlights from our week studying coordinate grid:
 

Students plot ordered pairs of well-known characters,teachers, administrators, and sports teams


During teacher station, students plotted ordered pairs on their slates.
Some highlights from our week studying symmetry and congruence:

During one of our independent stations, students completed a tiered activity.  The objective was the same:  All students will compare and contrast lines of symmetry in the alphabet.  Students were given cardstock letters (cut from a dye cut) to manipulate.


High and High-Medium groups completed a Venn Diagram to sort capital letters by vertical and/or horizontal lines of symmetry.

The Low-Medium group sorted capital letters by how many lines of symmetry each letter has.

The Low group simply determined whether or not a letter had a line of symmetry.  Then they drew the line of symmetry.

Have a great 3 day weekend! :)
