What will First graders learn during Quarter 1? Dates of instruction 9/28-10/19
Our Focus:
Math- Geometry
What Questions do we ask ourselves?
-what are the attributes of a shape?
-what are ways shapes can be sorted?
-how are plane shapes different from
solids?
-what makes a shape symmetrical?
-what makes shapes congruent?
-what is a rule for sorting shapes?
-how is this useful to me in everyday life?
How will we learn these things?
-geobands to show sides & vertices in cooperative
groups
-effective discourse conversations
-shape convention jigsaw to learn about shapes &
solids and share in cooperative groups
-manipulatives & geometry specific materials
-vocabulary instruction & use of math word wall
-showing multiple ways & answers
-create #d shapes using 2D shapes
-repetition & review in small groups
What materials will we use?
-solid figures -geo bands
-2D to 3D cut outs -geoboards
-pattern blocks/tangrams -mirrors

shapes
2010-2011
Why are we learning this?
-geometric solid figures and plane shapes can
be described and sorted by different attributes
and can apply this information to our everyday
life
What words will help us answer these questions?
-solid figures -vertex/ vertices rectangle
-plane shapes -rule -triangle -face -side
-2D (flat) -congruent -circle -square
-3D (fat) -symmetry/ symmetrical -6 solid names
-edge -line of symmetry -oval -attributes
OPTIONAL:
-hexagon -pentagon -octagon -polygon
How will we integrate art with our learning?
-organic and geometric shapes
-geobands (Chinese jump ropes)
-word painting (using body to play words thinking
about syllables)
-3D robot (solid figure names, face, side, edge)
-hands on through use of manipulatives
How will our team succeed?
-cooperate -differentiation
-discourse
-use formative assessments to plan
instruction -word painting -multimodal experiences
