Standard 2c: MathematicsCandidates know, understand, and use the major concepts, procedures, and reasoning processes of mathematics that define number systems and number sense, geometry, measurement, statistics and probability, and algebra in order to foster student understanding and use of patterns, quantities, and spatial relationships that can represent phenomena, solve problems, and manage data.

I think an important aspect of young children really getting a grasp on mathematics is so see it and experience it within their own world and their everyday lives. I have chosen to use a power point presentation done on the subject of geometry to showcase my knowledge of how I can accomplish this with my students.

Feeling at Home With GeometryBy: Angelique Curtis & Brittany Brooks

Directions•This is your geometry booklet.•On each page, you will see pictures showing geometric ideas.•After looking at each picture you will read the definition at the bottom of the page.•Then, you will try to find more examples of the geometric definition given for the picture.•You will need a crayon or marker, GET READY.•You can trace directly onto the picture…•OR•I will give you tracing paper •AND•…a hunting you will go!

Through this activity you will find•Lines •Triangles•Polygons•Circles•Quadrilaterals •…AND MORE!

Here you can see triangles, big and small.

A triangle is a three sided polygon whose angles measure up to 180 degrees.Can you find anymore?

Here you can see parallelograms.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Can you find any more parallelograms?

This is an example of a polygon, more specifically a pentagon.

A polygon is a closed shape with sides. A pentagon is a five sided shape or polygon. Do you see any more pentagons in this picture?

Here you can see some examples of pairs of perpendicular lines.

A line is perpendicular to another if it meets or crosses and creates a right angle(or 90 degree angle). Can you find some more pairs of perpendicular lines?

•A pair of parallel lines are always the same distance apart (equidistant) and never meet.

•Intersecting lines are lines that meet at a point.

**Can you find more pairs of parallel and intersecting lines in the picture?

**Can you find any more obtuse angles?

Obtuse Angles are angles measuring between 90 and 180 degrees.

•Congruent Angles have the same angle in degrees.•They don’t have to be in the same direction.•They don’t have to be on similar sized lines.

Are there any more examples of Congruent Angles?

•A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. •Two lines that meet at a right angle are also said to be perpendicular.

•An acute angle is an angle measuring between 0 and 90 degrees.

Can you find more examples of right and obtuse angles?

•Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of their degree measurements add up to be 180 degrees.

•One angle in the pair is the supplement of the other to add up to 180 degrees.

Can you find anymore supplementary angles?

•Two angles are called complementary angles when the sum of the degrees measurements equals 90 degrees.

Can you find any complementary angles?
