Two- and Three Dimensional Shapes
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 problem?
How can geometric properties and theorems be used to describe, model, and analyze situations?
How can the application of the attributes of geometric shapes support mathematical reasoning and problem solving?
How can geometric properties and theorems be used to describe, model, and analyze situations?
