Garden Variety Geometry
Students prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English and...
Curated OER
Shapes
Pupils identify five basic shapes. They participate in a hands-on activity in which they work with the different shapes. They name the characteristics that accompany each shape.
Curated OER
Shape Toss
Young scholars get a bounce ball and find a Polyspot. On the teacher's signal, students underhand throw to a target. They keep their own score: one point each time they hit a target.
Curated OER
Exploring Shapes
Students practice moving over shapes they have designed. They work on trying to travel around the shapes while practicing their jumping and landing patterns.
Curated OER
I Walk the Line
Students walk, run, jump, and hop all over and around geometric shapes. They identify the shapes by running to and standing on the called out shape.
Curated OER
Creating Gardens
Students are shown that numeracy is all around them. They use volume, and calculate the quantity of soil required to make a garden to given instructions. Students are asked how to calculate the amount of soil required for the garden.
