Topic Geometry

Muhammad Naveed SST Math IMCB Mughal 1

Introduction
The topic is geometry. Geometry is a kind of mathematics that deals with shapes and figures.
Geometry explains how to build or draw shapes, measure them, and compare them. People use
geometry in many kinds of work, from building houses and bridges to planning space travel.
Points, lines, and angles are basic terms of geometry. A point is an object that has no length or
width. It is usually represented by a dot. A line is an object that extends without end in both
directions. It is usually drawn with arrowheads to show that it goes on forever. A line segment is
a part of a line with two end points. A ray is half of a line, with one end point. Two rays with the
same end point form an angle. If the rays are the two halves of a single line, the angle is called a
straight angle. A straight angle can be thought of like a book opened flat on a desk. An angle
opened half that far is called a right angle. A polygon is a closed figure formed by joining together
line segments. A polygon with three sides is a triangle. Some kinds of triangles have special names.
If all three sides of a triangle are equal, it is an equilateral triangle. A triangle with one right angle
is a right triangle. A polygon with four sides is called a quadrilateral. A rectangle is a quadrilateral
with sides that form four right angles. A square is a special kind of rectangle with four sides of
equal length. Polygons with more than four sides are named by combining Greek words for
numbers with the letters “-gon.” For example, a pentagon is a five-sided figure. A hexagon has six
sides, and an octagon has eight. Some geometric shapes have curves instead of straight lines. The
most familiar of these shapes is the circle. All the points on the edge of a circle are the same
distance from the center. This distance is called the radius. The diameter is the distance across a
circle through the center. It is twice the length of the radius. The length around the outside of the
circle is called the circumference. Triangles, squares, and circles are flat. Other geometric shapes
are solid figures. A cube is a solid figure with flat surfaces. A square box is an example of a cube.
A sphere, such as a baseball, is a solid figure with a curved surface. Cones, cylinders, and pyramids
are other solid figures.

Importance of Geometry
Geometry is essential for helping children understand spatial relationships. This is detailed in the
report “Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood: Paths Toward Excellence and Equity,” co-
edited by Taniesha A. Woods, Ph.D..
Spatial relationships are important even for young children, because it helps them understand their
place in the world. It teaches them to determine how large a room is, how far away a desk is or
which way to move. Geometry allows students to connect mapping objects in the classroom to
real-world contexts regarding direction and place.
Understanding of spatial relationships is also considered important in the role of problem solving
and higher-order thinking skills. Kindergarten specialist Edward Schroeder emphasizes the
importance of stocking a classroom with objects and ideas that can reinforce spatial learning.
“Since young children learn best by working with concrete objects and through stories, educators
should stock their classrooms with picture books that model building and design, spatial
vocabulary, spatial gestures, and spatial and geometric concepts,” he writes.
Puzzles, blocks, shape sorters and building toys are fun and engaging elements that inspire young
students to learn more about shapes. Paper folding tasks, like origami and airplane making, help
students with the tactile aspect of learning geometry.
For older students questioning the importance of geometry, ask them to consider the example of
moving into a new house. Deidra Alexander at Bright Hub Education spells out the many ways in
which this ordinary life situation requires knowledge, planning and applications of geometry.
“What are the specs of your living room space? Do you know whether an oversized sofa, a lamp,
three large tables, and a dinette set will all fit in there? Did you remember to take the measurements
of the door leading into the living area?”, she writes as examples in a lesson plan for middle school
math.
These questions could be used as a group exercise to get students thinking about the critical daily
applications of geometry. It helps them understand that their family likely uses geometry in daily
life. This makes geometry lessons more meaningful and easier to remember.

Why did I do this? That is something I always want to ask my self, especially when I am doing
something new. If I don’t know they why, how can I expect my students to understand what we
are doing. I blogged about why I am trying to do this in my #OneWord2018 Challenge here. One
of my biggest goals is that I want students to own their learning. I felt like this class needed to try
something different as what I was doing wasn’t getting them excited for math. This lets me to try
this model out with one class and see if it is worth doing with my other classes.

SLOs

Students will be able to understand about geometry its importance and different types of shapes
relate these with real life things.

Desired Goals

 Students to own their learning

 Increase my ability to give help
 Have better relationships with my students
 Students have a better basic understanding of geometry

Set up of class
I made a class website to help facilitate everything. Check out the site here. I would love
feedback. Please let me know if you catch any errors or broken links.
Students watch a video in a google form then take a self check quiz in that form. The quiz grades
it live and I provided video links for review for each problem.
Students take Quiz in class
Before they can Quiz they must get a 100% on the self-check quiz in google forms. There is
infinite amount of re-takes.
Students need a score of 7 or more to move on to the next skill (Using my same standards base
grading rubric)
If student’s get bellow a 7 they must do one of the following before re-quizzing:
Corrective assignment
Error Analysis Sheet
When students finish all skills in a unit they take a unit test
To move on to next unit they must have an average of all the skills of an 8 or better
Pacing Guide used to help keep students on track.
After the date of a skill if students have tested it goes into grade book as Missing (Students can
still take just there to help motivate them)

Pre Class Activities.
To understand the concept of geometry I share some pictures, links and some videos. Students
see and check the shape of following geometry shapes. Students also draw all these shapes. Also
observe surrounding their and make the list of all those things which shapes match the following
shapes.

Students watch the following videos.

Diagnostic assessment.
Before class ask question to students are they seen videos which are share. Ask some question
for response about what they learn by videos.

Class Activities
1. Introduction
Begin the class by asking students to share their understanding of geometry. What they
learn from pre class assignment
Recap the all point. Tell them about the different shapes of geometry like.

Square. A polygon having four side equal.

Rectangle. A polygon having opposite sides are equal parallel all its angle is 90 degree.

Parallelogram. A polygon having opposite sides are equal parallel.

Circle. Set of all points which are equidistance from a fix point.

Rhombus. A quadrilateral all of whose sides have the same length and its diagonal are
perpendicular.

Kite. A kite is a quadrilateral with reflection symmetry across one of its diagonals.

Trapezium A trapezium is a two-dimensional quadrilateral with one pair of sides that are
parallel.

Pentagon. A pentagon is a geometrical shape, which has five sides and five angles

Hexagon. In geometry, a hexagon can be defined as a closed two-dimensional polygon with

six sides.

Octagon An octagon can be defined as a polygon with eight sides, eight interior angles,
and eight vertices.
Ask to students find all those things surrounding their class tell the name of that shapes likes door is look
like rectangle , white board is like rectangle.

Evaluation.
As teachers look for new ways to create engaging classes and embrace the opportunities made
possible by technology, the flipped classroom is quickly emerging as an exciting new approach
that promises multiple benefits for both teachers and students. Flipped classroom conveys the
concept of a modern smart classroom. Also, it includes LMS and virtual reality (VR) for the best
effectiveness. It frees students from attending the classes physically. They need to prepare for the
classes before it. So, they have to research more, which helps develop their skills. On the
contrary, it requires high-end technology which isn’t cheap. So, not everyone can access them.
Read on for 8 ways in which students and teachers can benefit from the flipped classroom model
or visit the View Sonic Education page for further classroom insights and EdTech solutions.
Merits of flip classroom.
Flipped Classroom Benefits for Teachers and Students
 Teachers Spend Less Time Introducing New Topics
 Students Develop Independent Learning Skills
 Teachers Can Create More Engaging Lessons
 Students Who Are Absent Do Not Fall Behind
 Teachers Can Re-Use the Content They Create
 Students Are Able to Build a Deeper Understanding
 Teachers Can Provide a More Tailored Approach
 Students Find Classroom Time More Interesting
Disadvantages of Flipped Classroom
Undoubtedly, the flipped classroom idea has brought groundbreaking changes to our educational
system. But it has a few setbacks, including proper accessibility for all. Also, students don’t get
the chance to socialize themselves and spend more time on screens.
The key disadvantage of the flipped classroom is its inaccessibility. It requires students to have a
computer or desktop, a strong internet connection, and smart gadgets. These are expensive, and
everyone may not have access to them. It is an even more concerning issue for third-world
countries.
Many argue that flipped classrooms and online classes divide students digitally. As they attend
classes from their home, they don’t socialize with each other. They hardly build any bonding.
Also, they remain in the room mostly and become unsocial.
Although the evidence of such claims isn’t tested yet, experts strongly agree. They recommend
combining both online and in-person classes to skip this problem.
Students need to spend hours for classes and class preparation on their gadgets. They will keep
looking at the screen for an extended period. Experts say it makes them lazy. Also, it causes
obesity due to physical inactiveness for long hours.

On top of it, it affects their eyesight. Many students are seen wearing glasses with online classes.
So, it has become a truly concerning issue.
Flipped classroom pros and cons listed here should open up your eyes. Of course, flipped
classrooms and online classes are revolutionary. It increases teaching and learning efficiency.
Also, it boosts the students learning thirst. As they need to prepare for the classes before their
commencement, it helps them acquire a deeper understanding of the topics.

Nonetheless, its accessibility and addiction to tech are concerning. So, you must balance it with
encouraging students to become physically active. Plus, you may combine in-person and online
classes for the best results
