New York State Standards:

 

MST:  Students will use visualization and spatial reasoning to analysis characteristics and properties of geometric shapes. 

 

    4. G.1:  Identify and name polygons, recognizing that their names are related the number of sides and angles (triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon).

    4. G.2:  Identify points and line segments when drawing a plane figure.

 

MST:  Students will identify and justify geometric relationships, formally and informally. 

 

    4. G.6:  Draw and identify intersecting, perpendicular, and parallel lines. 

    4.  G.7:  Identify points and rays when drawing angles. 

    4.  G.8:  Classify angles as acute, obtuse, right, and straight. 

 

English/Language Arts:  Students will listen, speak, read, and write for information and understanding. 

 

    As listeners and readers, students will collect data, facts, and ideas; discover relationships, concepts, and generalizations; and use knowledge generated from oral, written, and electronically produced texts. 

    As speakers and writers, they will use oral and written language that follows the accepted conventions of the English language to acquire, interpret, apply, and transmit information. 

 

National Standards:

 

Math:  Students will be able to analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationships.

 

    Identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two- and three-dimensional shapes and develop vocabulary to describe the attributes.

    Explore congruence and similarity.

 

Math:  Students will use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems.

 

    Build and draw geometric objects.

    Recognize geometric ideas and relationships and apply them to other disciplines and to problems that arise in the classroom or in everyday life.

 

English/Language Arts:  Students use a variety of technological and information resources (e.g., libraries, databases, computer networks, video) to gather and synthesize information and to create and communicate knowledge.

 

English/Language Arts:  Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information).

 

Technology Standards:

 

1:  Basic operations and concepts.

 

    Students demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature and operation of technology systems.

    Students are proficient in the use of technology

 

2:  Social, ethical, and human issues.

 

    Students practice responsible use of technology systems, information, and software.

    Students develop positive attitudes toward technology uses that support lifelong learning, collaboration, personal pursuits, and productivity.

 

3:  Technology productivity tools.

 

    Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.

    Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, prepare publications, and produce other creative works. 

 

5:  Technology research tools.

 

    Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information from a variety of sources.
