CCSS Aligned with 4.G.A.2, 5.GB.3, 5.GB.4
Hands-on math lessons are great, but they're even more effective when they're lively and fun, too. The geometry activities in Polygon Explorations are designed around a set of 30 Poly Shapes, and all of the activities require active engagement and math talk. From introductory activities to review games, these lessons will keep your class focused and highly involved. All of the geometry activities can be used in a whole group setting, and many of them also work with cooperative learning teams and in math centers. If you laminate the shapes, you can use them over and over throughout the year to engage students in hands-on activities with geometric concepts. This Smartboard version includes a unique gallery of all 30 shapes so that your students can manipulate them on the Smartboard as well as on their desks. It also includes charts that correspond with the sorting lessons. You can preview the entire ebook here.
If you don't have a Smartboard, you can buy the PDF form of these activities alone here: Polygon Explorations
polygons, teaching polygons, geometry, geometry instruction, teaching diagonals. triangles, quadrilaterals, angles, Laura Candler, Smartboard math lessons

Outstanding as always! There are so many ways to use this resource. What I especially appreciate is how pretty much every activity requires higher level thinking. I think students will love the Showdown Activities especially.

I can't download this because of the zip file, is there another program that it will work with?
May 6, 2012
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Zip files are extremely common now and should not be causing your problem. You can download the other version which is not a zip file but doesn't have the SB file. If you weren't able to get it, email help at lauracandler.com and we will work something out. Thanks!
