1. Identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two-and three-dimensional shapes and develop vocabulary to describe the attributes.
2. Classify two- and three- dimensional shapes according to their properties and develop definitions of classes of shapes such as triangles and pyramids.
3. Explore congruence and similarity.
4. Make and test conjectures about geometric properties and relationships and develop logical arguments to justify conclusions.

Students will:

1. Identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two-and three-dimensional shapes and develop vocabulary to describe the attributes.
2. Classify two- and three- dimensional shapes according to their properties and develop definitions of classes of shapes such as triangles and pyramids.
3. Explore congruence and similarity.
4. Write a short selection for a geography slide show on noted geometric figures and geographic importance.
5. Independently label and identify various geometric shapes through geographic locations discussed in class.
   
6. Work in groups to investigate and describe various shapes in famous architectural work around the world.
   
7. Demonstrate geometry through physical movement.
8. Demonstrate geometry through the physical game of sports.
9. Investigate and explore manipulating various geometric shapes.

Culminating Activity

Integrate this unit with a nature science unit. There are multiple examples of geometry in the natural world around us. Students can begin to collect different shells, leaves, and plants for a fun science/geometry connection. Your students can then sort and identify different life forms around them using terminology learned in class.
