This file includes 5 things to meet the CCSS 5.G.3-4: 1) Student sheet: Quadrilateral Hierarchy Chart (2 pages) 2) Shape Cards A-O (15 quadrilaterals to use with chart) 3) Tree map showing the hierarchy of quadrilaterals 4) Answer key for Chart 5) Basic definitions of the types of quadrilaterals (I use these as a guide for the students to make a foldable of the terms and definitions) **Note: The trapezoid in this activity uses the "EXCLUSIVE" definition: meaning that the trapezoid is defined as

Students use a geoboard (or Geoboard App on iPad) to construct specific triangles and quadrilaterals. (Listed here) right triangle isosceles triangle parallelogram trapezoid acute triangle scalene triangle kite rectangle obtuse triangle quadrilateral rhombus square This product covers Common Core Standards in grades: 3rd- 3G1: Reason with Shapes and Attributes 4th-4.G.2: Classify two-dimensional figures 5th- 5.G.3-4: Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their prope

Grades 5-8, here's a Lab activity using protractors! Every get frustrated with the angles being too small? Not here! They fit the protractor perfectly! In addition, the "correct" way to measure angles is emphasized. (Evidentially, the "correct" way is to measure counterclockwise.) I copied the Labsheet on colored paper and reused them in each of my four classes. This could be done individually, in a small group, or with partners. Happy angling! Answer key coming soon...

This is a continuation of Open Box A, with volumes that a little bit larger. Meets Common Core State Standard: 5.MD.5: Relate volume to the operation of multiplication. This hands on activity requires students to cut out, fold, and then find how many centimeter cubes will fill the box. Students then record the dimensions of the box and relate to the volume through multiplication. (length x width) x height = volume

This activity can be used as a center, as a scavenger hunt around the class, "scoot" style*(see below), or using the Smartboard lesson to go over it/ teach it. It covers: Complementary Angles, Supplementary angles, missing angles of triangles, missing angles of a quad, and writing equations. The .zip file includes: 1) Student answer sheet 2) 16 angle task cards (two per page) 3) The same 16 angle task cards (one per page) 4) Answer key *"Scoot" style is when you put a task card on a pair

Need some materials to teach the CCSS 6.EE.A3 and EE.A2? "Find the perimeter of these 12 geometrical shapes (polygons). Side lengths are expressions with variables! •Includes: 12 Task Cards •Answer Key •Student Sheet (blank) •Student Worksheet (with Polygons on it)

*Cut this sheet in half, students glue in notebook. 1. Choose 12 or more circular objects (My favorites are an old record, cd, and bicycle wheel). 2. Students measure each with string or flexible measuring tape. 3. They calculate the ratio and the average. Voila! that should be close to pi. 4. In the last column, have them check their work by multiplying the diameters by 3.14! 5. You could also show the video about circles: http://www.shmoop.com/video/circles
