Big Ideas
Patterns exhibit relationships that can be extended, described, and generalized.
Geometric relationships can be described, analyzed, and classified based on spatial reasoning and/or visualization.
Essential Questions
How can patterns be used to describe relationships in mathematical situations?
How can recognizing repetition or regularity assist in solving problems more efficiently
How are spatial relationships, including shape and dimension, used to draw, construct, model, and represent real situations or solve problems?

Tangram Shapes
Using a tangram set students work in partners to figure out how to make different shapes using a set amount of pieces from the set at a time.
My Shape Riddle
Students make shape riddles to exchange with a partner to try to solve.
Geoboard Quadrilaterals
