Geometry at School--It's Everyplace You Are makes school curriculum
come alive! Engaging, hands-on activities help students see the
connection between geometry concepts and their own experiences.
Activities are relevant to the daily lives of students, drawing on
locations, objects, and concepts that appear in and around familiar
surroundings.
This
book includes six units to provide a variety of math experiences.
Students will explore geometry at school in the classroom, in the
lunchroom, on the playground, in the library, on the way to school, and
in other locations at school. Each unit includes reading comprehension
exercises, hands-on activities, and written exercises.
The
activities were developed to meet the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics (NCTM) Standards. Activities emphasize key geometry
vocabulary, concepts, and process skills. Students are encouraged to
share their answers and compare their methods and strategies. These
activities incorporate reading comprehension with math skills such as
patterning, sorting, identifying, comparing, analyzing, and examining
two- and three-dimensional models. Each unit provides hands-on learning
through cutting, coloring, mazes, and more.
