Geometry

Geometry: from shapes to transformations

Geometry is a highly visual subject. Our geometry resources begin at the kindergarten level with recognizing simple shapes such as triangles, circles and rectangles and proceed through grade 5 level geometry, including coordinate geometry and analysis of 3-D shapes. 

Geometry topics for kindergarten to grade 5

  • identify classify 2-D shapes including triangles, quadrilaterals and circles
  • properties of circles
  • properties and classification of angles and triangles
  • understand spatial relationships (in and out, above and below, etc.)
  • subdivide and combine shapes into new shapes
  • decompose 2D shapes to develop concept of fractions
  • understand the concepts of perimeter and area
  • understand congruence, similarity and symmetry
  • points, segments, rays and lines 
  • recognize parallel and perpendicular lines
  • coordinate geometry (e.g. find locations on a grid; the four quadrants)
  • predict the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes (transformations)
  • identify 3-D shapes
  • surface area and volumes of rectangular prisms
  • identify lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry in 2D shapes.
  • build 3D objects from 2D representations
  • draw 2D representations of 3D objects.
