Class Overview


Geometry Support
4th – 6th Grade
Instructor: Ms. Angela Brodie


Phone Number: 909-728-1147

Course Description

This is an online course designed as a supplemental element for 4th through 6th grade students that are learning or need extra support in the area of geometry. This course will cover basic elements of geometry. The class will focus on the elements of measurement, perimeter, area, and volume. Students will cover basic polygons and move into applying their skills to complex shapes.   

Intended Learners

Students that will benefit most from this course are students that are in need of extra support in geometry. Students in this course must have a basic understanding of mathematical processes and need more practice and instruction in geometry. Students must have access to the online portal after school and at home.

Duration

This course is designed to be completed in one 4 week session. The course will include four units with one unit being covered each week. The course dates will vary based on your schools track calender. Please reference the district calenders. Traditional tracks will begin before spring break and resume after students return. 2012-2013 School Year Calender

Course Goals

This course will teach students to identify different parts of shapes including length, width, and height. Skills will be applied to the formulas for perimeter, area, and volume. This course will build on skills taught, and will improve student understanding of geometric shapes and properties. At the end of the course students will have a strong grasp on mathematic formulas and processes needed to determine perimeter, area, and volume of basic and complex polygons.

Learner Objectives

Upon the completion of the Geometry Support course, students will be able to:
·         Measure and label lengths of two dimensional shapes
·         Use the proper formula to correctly calculate perimeter
·         Use the proper formula to correctly calculate area
·         Identify and label the length width and height of three dimensional figures.
·          Use the proper formula to correctly calculate volume
·         Apply knowledge of perimeter, area, and volume to basic and complex shapes
