Geometric Reasoning with Shapes & Attributes Classifying Plane Figures Sara Delano Moore, Ph.D. Director of Mathematics & Science ETA hand2mind 1 December 2015

Geometric Reasoning with Shapes & Attributes September 15: Laying a Strong Foundation October 13: Identifying Critical Attributes November 10: Properties of Lines and Angles December 1: Classifying Plane Figures

Levels of Geometric Understanding Level 0: Visualization “It looks like …” Focus only on the shapes available at the time Level 1: Analysis “Laundry list” of properties Understanding of classes of shapes with common properties Level 2: Informal Deduction Identify informal relationships among properties Identify necessary and sufficient properties Level 3: Deduction Create proofs about properties Level 4: Rigor Reason about different axiomatic systems (e.g., spherical geometry)

Building Shapes with AngLegs & Geoboards Ask students to build a shape. Compare your shape with your neighbor. How are they the same? How are they different?

What’s My Rule? Yes/True No/False

Lists of Attributes Give students a collection of shapes in one category (different groups can have different categories) Each group makes a list of all the attributes common to any shape in their category. Attribute Categories: Sides, Angles, Diagonals, Symmetries Students need tools – index card, ruler, tracing paper, mirror/Mira, etc

Attributes of Quadrilaterals Sides Angles Diagonals Symmetries

Parallel Lines What is the relationship between these line segments?

Parallel Lines in Quadrilaterals

Classification based on lines Does the shape have exactly one pair of parallel sides? No Yes Trapezoids Parallelograms Sorting shapes already determined to have at least one pair of parallel sides.

Grade 5 Geometry Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties. 3. Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles. 4. Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
