Geometry
Identify lines, line segments, rays, and angles. 5.3.1 G	Banana Hunt - This game helps students practice the degrees of an angle Identify Geometric Shapes - match the shape with the correct name to uncover a picture - flash card format Spy Guys Interactive - Working with Angles - Lesson 16
Identify lines of symmetry in two-dimensional geometric figures. 5.3.2 G	Ask Hannah - describe symmetry in two-dimensional shapes Lines of Symmetry - this video lesson explains horizontal, vertical and diagonal line symmetry, and then gives your students the chance to show understanding on several quizzes. Symmetry Activity - practice making patterns that have symmetry
Identify two- or three- dimensional shapes given defining attributes. 5.3.3 G	Angles - students practice their knowledge of acute, obtuse and alternate angles Patterns for Solid Figures - Complete to make a cube figure Triangle Explorer - Students learn about areas of triangles and about the Cartesian coordinate system through experimenting with triangles drawn on a grid.
Use spatial reasoning to predict the result of sliding, flipping, or turning a two-dimensional shape. 5.3.4 G	Cube - Find out which colors will be on opposite faces of a cube whose faces are shown unfolded. Flip, Slide, or Turn - six flash movies allow you to watch the path an object takes while it is being transformed Flips, Slides, and Turns - a manipulative which allows you to view the effect of applying reflection, translation, and rotation transformations Mathematical Movements (Flips, Slides and Turns) - [ designed for 3rd grade ] a 25 page lesson with printables Measuring Turns - what would shapes look like if rotated Motion in Geometry - a 127 slide PowerPoint show Slides, Flips, and Turns - lesson plan with links to four printables Spy Guys Interactive - Slides and Flips - Lesson 17 Transformations - a Flash movie which demonstrates flips, slides, and turns Wrapping Paper Patterns - decide which figures would result from a flip, a slide, or a turn
Locate and specify a point in Quadrant I of a coordinate system. 5.3.5 AT	Billy Bug - Guide Billy to the coordinates hiding the food. coordinates 0-10 | coordinates 0-5 Graphing Skills - What's the point? find the point on the grid (choose Easy for Quadrant 1 problems) Grid Graph - identify and plot points on a grid Reading Grids - find Hurkle in an intersection of a grid Simple Coordinates Game - Students investigate the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of points, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. Simple Maze Game - Students investigate the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system by directing a robot through a mine field laid out on the plane. Stock the Shelves - You are the clerk. Stock the shelves using a special coordinate plane. [ all 4 quadrants used in this game ] Worksheet Generator - Print your own blank coordinate plane worksheets, you determine the number of grids on a sheet and whether the grids are numbered or not. Advanced (all 4 Quadrants used) General Coordinates Game - Students investigate the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of points, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. ( all 4 quadrants utilized ) Maze Game - Students use their knowledge of points on a graph to move a robot to the target, while avoiding mines. ( all 4 quadrants utilized )
Classify geometric figures using properties. 5.3.6 G	Quad Squad - describe various quadrilaterals
Use spatial reasoning to identify the three-dimensional figure created from a two-dimensional representation of that figure (i.e., cube, rectangular prism, pyramid, cone, or cylinder). 5.3.7 G	3-D Object Viewer - Students may explore a variety of 3-D objects and their accompanying 2-D views. Building Houses with Side View - student constructs a block figure (dynamic, perspective drawing) to match (10 different figures) Coloring 3-D sides - [ UK spelling on this site ] Find the red sides shown in a series of 2-D drawings and click on the right face of the 3-D model to color it red. 20 questions Coloring 2-D sides - Use the colored portion of the 3-D object to color the correct side of the 2-D drawing. Cube - Find out which colors will be on opposite faces of a cube whose faces are shown unfolded. Guess the View - Students are given a 3-D view of an object, and then given a 2-D view of the object. Students must choose which of 6 views is being displayed from a list. Plot Plans and Silhouettes - from Shape and Space in Geometry - the student task is to come up with plot plans that could match the given silhouettes. Background information is available at another page . Point Out the View - a ten level activity from PBS Kids, students must show what 2-D view each of four viewers would see when looking at a stack of blocks Rotating Houses - Students are presented with a 3-D figure created with blocks that can be rotated and flipped using a mouse. The figure must be rotated until it matches a 2-D representation of one of the views.
