Geometry Bundle (CCSS)
We aren’t the only ones who are TOTALLY EXCITED about jumping into Geometry with both feet, are we? Seriously, what’s not to love about solid figures, plane figures and polygons (and, of course, their many attributes), as well as parallel, intersecting and perpendicular lines, line segments, points AND angles?? Geometry is a veritable Mathematical Wonderland! Well, we love this unit so much we’ve carefully prepared 40 pages (plus answer keys) of top-shelf geometry practice for your Math-Masters-

Geometry: Quadrilaterals Share Attributes
Okay, now that your students are well-acquainted with quadrilaterals, it's time to take a step back and look at the BIG PICTURE. We've gone over the concrete details of what makes a trapezoid a trapezoid, what makes a parallelogram a parallelogram, etc., but what about the abstract? Students need to be able to make generalizations about quadrilaterals and explain similarities and differences between the various types.
Well, what we've got here, friends

Geometry: Acute, Right, and Obtuse Angles
We're enjoying this Geometry series like nobody's business, and we hope you are, too!
In the mini-lesson of this installment we define what an angle is and introduce the types of angles. Your students will then jump right into identifying angles. Then we slide into some challenging word problems where they will compare angles to hands on a clock. They'll also practice drawing angles for themselves then finish up by answering some multiple choice questi

Geometry: Partition Shapes Into Equal Parts
Let's keep this Math Train chugging! In this handout, we review the basic concept of equal parts, as well as the names of the most common ways a shape may be partitioned (halves, thirds, fourths, sixths and eighths). This time, however, students will not only identify equal parts, they will actively partition shapes into equal parts! Fancy!

As we venture ever onward on the quest to train the greatest Math Masters this world has yet known, happenstance - or destiny? - leads us to a magical bridge betwixt the lands of Geometry and the fabled region of Fractions!
Er, sorry... sometimes we get caught up in the moment. Anyway, we all know students can find fractions a touch difficult to wrap their brains around, so this introduction to equal parts is designed to make the tricky transition from the concre

Geometry: Solid Figures & Their Attributes
Hello again! We're very excited to share the very first handout in our geometry unit. We begin by introducing the concept of geometry and defining the attributes of solid figures: length, width, and height. From there it's all about practice. We've provided 20 questions to get your students rolling with spheres, cubes, rectangular prisms, pyramids, cones, and cylinders. Take a look!

So, your students have taken a dip in the Quadrilateral Pool, have they? Are they really rock-solid on which is which when presented with a parallelogram, a trapezoid and a kite? They probably are, especially if you've provided them with thorough and engaging practice (such as our introductory Quadrilaterals Handout).
However, if you want to make doubly sure, we've created some additional questions to really hammer these skills home. That way nothing is

Additional biographical information
First off, thanks so much for taking a peek at our bio to get to know us.
To be clear, there aren't quite 88 of us but here’s our current starting line-up:
Cy is our team captain. She’s a former Marine with 26 years of teaching experience under her belt. She knew early on that she wanted to be a teacher and worked full-time as a teacher assistant while earning her degree (while caring for a husband and 3 children). Cy is the Content Queen – she’s responsible for writing content and questions, formatting, approving final drafts and directing the general aim of the business.
Nina is our writer extraordinaire. She is an aspiring poet, author, songwriter and puzzle maker. Armed with a History degree, Nina is on the front lines in elementary school classrooms everyday as a reading specialist in a charter school. For 88Brains she helps with content and question creation, and writes most of our super-cute original reading passages.
Warren is our resident tech whiz. She is responsible for maintaining our store here on TPT and our presence across the various social media platforms. By day she’s a corporate trainer, by night she uses her degree in Visual Arts/Design to create the templates we use to format our products for optimal awesomeness and ease of use. She also breathes life into our original illustrations by injecting them with vibrant colors.
Jack is our illustrator. He plans to pursue a degree in animation in the near future. In the meantime he is hard at work providing 88Brains with original (and adorable) clip-art that gives our work that extra little something. He is also blossoming into something of a jack-of-all-trades, helping out when needed with formatting, editing and maintaining our web presence.
We love what we do and use our products in our own classrooms. Having the opportunity to also share that same work with a community as vibrant and engaging as TPT is truly an amazing experience. We thank you for taking a moment of your precious time to check us out.
Keep Being Awesome :)
Sincerely,
The Brains
