Geometry Pinterest Board

Here's a quick link to the Geometry Board I created on Pinterest to inspire students to take a look around! Shapes are everywhere, including in nature!

Here's a fun story to launch your Geometry Unit! 

Fun Story by Marlyn Burns

In the story, the triangle gets tired of all his jobs and wants to be different.  So, he goes to the shape shifter and every time, he gets one more angle and one more side.  He ends up having so many sides and angles that he rolls down a hill and so he decides he wants to go back to being a triangle.  This book showed us all of the different polygons--quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, nonagons and decagons--and in a really fun way!  Each polygon also talked about where it can be found in the real world.

Making polygons with string.

Making shapes using geoboards and then transferring our shapes to dotted paper and color coding them based on their attributes.
