Mathematics

Grade 4

 

MA 2              Geometric/Spatial Sense

Course Objective        * Students will explore, construct, and explain geometric and spatial relationships to include measurement (length, area, and volume), congruence, similarity, and transformations of shapes.

 

 

                        Learner Objectives

                       

1.      Investigate concepts of lines, angles, similarity, congruence, and symmetry. [1.6, 2.5]

Lines and Angles

 

2.      Visualize, model, draw, classify, and compare plane and solid figures. [2.1]

Solid Figures

 

3.      Develop and explain the use of perimeter and area of squares and rectangles. [2.1]

Finding the Area of a Shape

Comparing Areas

 

4.      Investigate and determine length, capacity, weight, area, volume, time (including calendars), and temperature. [2.5]

Shape Pan Balance

 

5.      Use customary, metric, and nonstandard units of measure to determine length to the nearest quarter inch and nearest half centimeter. [1.10]

 

6.      Investigate geometry in art, architecture, and nature. [2.4]

 

7.      Select and discuss appropriate units and devices (protractor, compass, ruler, scales) to estimate or make measurements considering degree of accuracy. [2.6]
