Unit 9: Lines, Angles and Shapes

Unit 9: LINES ANGLES AND SHAPES

In this unit students apply mathematical process standards to analyze geometric attributes in order to develop generalizations about their properties. The student will also apply mathematical process standards to solve problems involving angles less than or equal to 180 degrees.

GEOMETROCITY Building a City with Math.

Geometrocity is a project based learning activity where students will take their geometry skills and design their own city. This multi-tiered activity allows for immediate differentiation because of it’s size, and students will work in groups to complete parts of a city. This project doesn’t just focus on math skills, as there are components of social studies (mapping skills), writing, problem solving and comprehension skills too. Students will be creating a city that uses 2D and 3D, practicing both plane and solid geometry. Students will utlize many types of geometric skills such as building nets to create buildings and structures along with designing parts of a city with shapes, lines, angles and more.
