The objects of thought here are the properties of shapes. Students begin “if-then” thinking; for example, “If it’s a rectangle, then it has all right angles.” Students can begin to think about the minimum information necessary to define figures; for example, a quadrilateral with four congruent sides and one right angle must be a square.

Spatial sense is an intuitive feel for shape and space. Itinvolves the concepts of traditional geometry, including an ability torecognize, visualize, represent, and transform geometric shapes. Italso involves other, less formal ways of looking at two- andthree-dimensional space, such as paper-folding, transformations,tessellations, and projections....
Geometry is the study of spatial relationships. It is connected toevery strand in the mathematics curriculum and to a multitude ofsituations in real life. Geometric figures and relationships haveplayed an important role in society's sense of what isaesthetically pleasing. From the Greek discovery and architecturaluse of the golden ratio to M. C. Es...
Traditionally, elementary school geometry instruction has focusedon the categorization of shapes; at the secondary level, it has beentaught as the prime example of a formal deductive system. While theseperspectives of the content are important, they are also limiting. Inorder to develop spatial sense, students should be exposed to abroader range of...
First make at least eight copies of any shape in Figure 17.1. An easy way to do this is to fold a piece of paper so that there are eight thicknesses. Trace the shape on an outside section, and cut through all eight thicknesses at once. Think of the shapes you cut out as tiles. The task is to use the tiles to make a regular tiling pattern. A ...
Use geometry software to explore triangles, parallel and perpendicular lines, angles, quadrilaterals, and circles. When students can drag vertices and display measures, they can really begin to grasp how the properties of each figure work. Understanding: The student can identify figures, or components of figures.
Nov 4, 2024 · 3D shapes are solid figures such as spheres, cubes, cuboids, cones, pyramids, prisms and cylinders. Three-dimensional shapes have measurable length, width, height/depth and volume. Elementary math students learn to identify solid figures based on: The number and shape of faces. The number of vertices. The number of edges.

The products of thought at level 1 are the properties of shapes. Level 2 - Informal Deduction or Abstraction. The objects of thought at level 2 are the properties of shapes. Students develop relationships between and among properties. Shapes can be classified using minimal characteristics; e.g., "Rectangles are parallelograms with a right angle."
