UNIT 1 – NAMING AND CONSTRUCTING GEOMETRIC FIGURES
Time Frame: Approximately August 27 through September 7
Key Terms: See “Unit Organizer” for full list on page 7 of your teacher manual
Common Core Standards Addressed:
 4.G.1. Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify
these in two-dimensional figures.
 4.G.2. Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence
or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
