1. Geometric Shapes Learning Center Deborah Thonus This PowerPoint is designed to be used as a learning center. Students will see video clips of different shapes found in the world around them. They will also see how shapes are combined and subdivided. There are 2 opportunities for informal assessment. This PowerPoint learning center also contains instructions for follow-up projects so students may perform their understanding in new problems and in tangible ways. To provide multiple entry points to the content, students will have choices with a variety of products and the video clips they watch.

48. Shape Poetry Choose a shape and write a poem about your shape. You must include words from the definition of your shape. Use the Glossary in your math book for the definition. Some ideas for your poem: Draw the shape’s outline a write your words around the outside of the shape. Use the definition to write a free verse, 5 senses, or 5 W’s poem. (See examples on our bulletin board.) Comparison Poem- Compare your shape to things around in our world using similes. Haiku Acrostic - Spell your shape’s name going down the side. (See examples on our bulletin board.)

49. Tessellation Click below to see a lesson from Nutshellmath.com Next, make your own tessellation. You may use the Windows Paint program, pattern block pieces, or draw shapes to create your tessellation. Make sure you name your shape on your project.
