Description

Bring the fun to 4th grade math lessons with an interactive geometry unit! Would you love to see your students actively engaged in learning about geometry? Even looking forward to math block each day as the best part of the day? If so, this high-engagement, activity-driven 4th grade math unit on geometry is perfect for you. Yep…a whole unit on geometry, ready to go! Just print and gather a few handy supplies.

This geometry unit is designed for high engagement and an interactive classroom. Whether you enjoy breaking your class up into smaller groups to utilize guided math and math centers or you prefer to keep them together for large group instruction, you will have everything you need included in this geometry unit. Add a few dice and a couple packs of dollar-store playing cards to watch math come alive!

Each geometry math lesson includes:

a mini-lesson so you can model the concept for your students
a peer practice activity to allow students to practice the concept with classmates
an interactive notebook entry
a math game to be played with a partner or group
a paper assignment for practice or homework
answer key

To complete your plans for geometry, this unit also includes:

an overview of the unit-letting you know which order to teach the lessons
An end-of-unit review notebook entry
An end-of-unit interactive review activity
An end-of-unit assessment and answer key

This is a comprehensive geometry unit covers the 4th-grade CCSS for math and math TEKS related to geometry.

12 INSTRUCTIONAL LESSONS + 3 REVIEW LESSON + 3 ASSESSMENT.

The following lessons are included in this geometry unit:

➡️ Find the Area of Rectangles

➡️ Find the Area of Irregular Shapes Lesson Plan

➡️ Find the Perimeter of Shapes

➡️ Use Formulas to Find Perimeter of Shapes

➡️ Rays, Lines and Angles

➡️ Unit Angles and Degrees

➡️ Measure Angles and Draw Angles

➡️ Add and Subtract Complementary and Supplementary Angles

➡️ Perpendicular Parallel and Intersecting Lines

➡️ Types of Triangles

➡️ Types of Quadrilaterals

➡️ Congruent Shapes and Lines of Symmetry

This geometry unit is an effective and easy-to-implement plan to meet the increased expectations for rigor in math classrooms while still feeding your student’s need for play. The lessons and activities in this geometry unit can each be used independently or woven together into a guided math block.

An example of a 90-minute daily math block might look like this:

Whole group mini-lesson 10-15 minutes
Peer practice follow-up activity 10-15 minutes
Group time organization-assign students to groups and front load the directions for small group and station tasks
Rotating station work-60 minutes broken up into 20 min chunks.
Station 1: Teacher table-we dig deeper and complete the worksheet, reteaching or extending as needed. (BONUS-I grade the papers as we go!)
Station 2: Notebooking-students add the INB pieces to their notebooks and work the math included
Station 3: Game of the day with a recording sheet (sometimes I even send these home for homework so parents can see how much fun their kids are having learning about geometry!)
