The Long and Short of It - Geometry
First graders use appropriate vocabulary to compare the measurement of the animal he/she is drawing.
Curated OER
Geometry - Measurement
Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Geometry /Tessellations
Students investigate the concept of tessellations and how they are formed using angles. They categorize how different patterns do and not tessellate and separate them into two different places for assessment. The teacher draws examples...
Curated OER
Mathematics Within: Shape, Space & Measurement
Students experiment and analyze triangulation to assess degrees of combined angles, predict polygons that tessellate as well as extending of shapes to create tessellations. They explore the concept of why some polygons tessellate when...
