Gr. 4-6. This book from the Science for Every Kid series introduces concepts in geometry through short explanations and hands-on activities. From recognition of lines, shapes, patterns, and angles, VanCleave moves into calculation of area, three-dimensional figures, and coordinate graphing. Although the book doesn't replace a good geometry text or instructor, it could provide teachers and motivated students with simple projects for exploring facets of geometry. Line drawings and diagrams illustrate the text. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
How do you fold a sheet of paper into the shape of a whale? How do you measure the area of a pizza pie? How can you draw a circle within a circle without lifting your pencil from the paper?
Now you can discover the answers to these and other fascinating questions about elementary geometry--the study of shapes. Packed with illustrations, Geometry for Every Kid uses simple problems and activities to teach about acute and obtuse angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, plane and space figures, and much more! By arranging the pieces of an intriguing Chinese puzzle called a tangram, you'll explore all the different shapes you can form. You'll also learn how to create a colorful 3-D drawing that seems to rise right off the page! And, by building a geoboard, you'll discover a quick, fun way to compare the area of different geometric figures.
Each of the activities is broken down into its purpose, a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and an easy to understand explanation. Every project has been pretested and can be performed safely and inexpensively in the classroom or at home.
