Unit 6: Understanding Shapes & Fractions
In this unit, students will:
• study and compose two- and three-dimensional figures • identify basic figures within two- and three-dimensional figures • compare, contrast, and/or classify geometric shapes using position, shape, size, number of sides, and number of angles • solve simple problems, including those involving spatial relationships • investigate and predict the results of putting together and taking apart two- and three dimensional shapes • create mental images of geometric shapes using spatial memory and spatial visualization • relate, identify, partition, and label fractions (halves, fourths) as equal parts of whole objects • apply terms such as half of, quarter of, to describe equal shares. |
