The Geometry series, Shapes
in Space, provides lessons for first through middle school
grades and gives students rich experiences with both two- and
three-dimensional shapes. The content of the programs is correlated
to the California Standards and NCTM standards. Students are
introduced to properties and attributes of geometric shapes,
angle measures, area and perimeter, transformations, and symmetry.
Pre and Post Tests are available.
Staff Development:
Teaching
Geometry Concepts (K-8)
Two 60-minute staff development programs
These staff development programs help teachers understand geometry and the
instructional strategies for effectively teaching geometry concepts.
Program design, teacher guides, and online opportunities for students,
teachers, and parents are explored. Strategies and resources are presented
to help students learn how to use technology as a tool for processing
information, visualizing and solving problems, exploring and testing
conjectures, accessing data, and verifying solutions.
Student Programs:
Geometry
Concepts for Primary Grades (Grades 1-2)
Six 30-minute student programs
This module stresses the development of geometric ideas through activities
that engage students in doing, thinking, and reflecting on geometric
concepts. Activities help build self-confidence, nurture natural curiosity,
and challenge students with rich problems that help them learn to appreciate
and value mathematics. The content includes Sorting Geometric Shapes,
Classifying Geometric Shapes, Discovering Attributes of Geometric Shapes,
Constructing Shapes, Slides, Flips, and Turns and Three-Dimensional Geometry.

Programs:
Turn On to Geometry (Grades 5-6)
Eight 30-minute student programs
This module helps students develop spatial understanding. Through active
investigation, students discover properties and relationships of two-
and three-dimensional figures as well as an appreciation of their own
geometric world. Students work cooperatively to develop an understanding
of such geometric concepts as similarity, congruency, and how to apply
transformations. The content includes: Sorting & Classifying, Discovery
Why Polygons Tessellate, Exploring Angles Using Tangrams, Exploring Polygons,
Using Tangrams, Creating Polyhedrons Using Polydrons, Drawing 3-D Objects
in Perspective, Demonstrating Geometric Ideas and Platonic Solids and
Crystals.
