Grade 6th: Math Geometry and Spatial Sense

Day 1 – Standard 1: The student describes, draws, identifies, and analyzes two- and three-dimensional shapes. (MA.C.1.3)

-Jigsaw Activity- Given a specific shape, each student will create a PowerPoint slide on a computer, describing what shape they were given and listing 5 or more characteristic about their shape.

-Materials- Computers used to create the PowerPoints and the shapes that the teacher will be handing out.

Bloom’s- Through describing their shape, the students gain comprehension.

Day 2 - Standard 2: The student visualizes and illustrates ways in which shapes can be combined, subdivided, and changed. (MA.C.2.3) -Transitions Brain Pop- The students will watch a video on “transitions” followed by the activity of writing definitions, then will take a quiz based on the previous information, requiring 70%.

-Materials- Computers for BrainPop so the students can watch the video, write definitions, and take the quiz.

-Bloom’s- by watching the video and writing the vocabulary, students will show knowledge by completing the assigned quiz with satisfactory outcome.

Day 3 - Standard 2: The student visualizes and illustrates ways in which shapes can be combined, subdivided, and changed. (MA.C.2.3)

-Tessellations- Students will complete the KW portion of a KWL chart on tessellations, followed by the movie “The Fantastic World Of M.C. Escher”, then students will be required to do a 3 paragraphs essay on what they learned for homework.

-Materials- KWL charts so they can explain what they know and want to know, and the movie “The Fantastic World of M.C. Escher” so the kids can write what they learned for homework.

-Bloom’s- Students will show comprehension by watching the video and being able to write down what they learn in their three paragraphs.

Day 4 - Standard 2: The student visualizes and illustrates ways in which shapes can be combined, subdivided, and changed. (MA.C.2.3)

-Perpendicular & Parallel BrainPop- The students will watch a video on “perpendicular and parallel” followed, by writing down definitions, then will take a quiz based on the previous information, requiring 70%.

-Materials- Computers for Brain Pop so the students can watch the video, write definition, and take the quiz.

-Bloom’s- by watching the video and writing the vocabulary, students will show knowledge by complete the assigned quiz with satisfactory.

Day 5 - Standard 3: The student uses coordinate geometry to locate objects in both two and three dimensions and to describe objects algebraically. (MA.C.3.3)

-Ordered Pairs Activities – After a classroom discussion on ordered pairs, the teacher will project “http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/SimpleCoordinates/” onto the whitescreen, and students will answer 30 questions on ordered pairs and must get 90% correct.

-Material- A computer and a projector so the class can see the ordered pairs.

-Bloom’s- Students will demonstrated knowledge by listen to the discussion on ordered pairs and being able to reproduced that information on the assignment with 90% correct.
