TB= Textbook, WB=Workbook (spiral bound)

Homework:

You should clearly show the work necessary to complete each problem.
Well labeled solutions make it easier to follow work, and to make any necessary repairs.

* Note: All plans are subject to tweaking and other changes.

HW # Problems Due Due Date

Weeks 1-3: Geometry, Ch 9

HW #1 HW 1: (Mini-HW) Use impeccable handwriting, or type your responses to the following. You may include pictures, if appropriate.

1. What kind of geometry topics/ideas do you think are appropriate for grades K-3?
2. What kind of geometry topics/ideas do you think are appropriate for grades 4-8?
3. What kind of geometry topics/ideas do you think should be reserved for grades 9 and up?
Due Wed, April 1st
Week 1

HW #2
Read thru Section 9.1 (p563-578), looking for vocabulary words. Write down definitions to any of the words you find on your Geometry Vocab sheet. (Many of the words won't appear until later sections, so you can leave them for now). Add another page to your geometry vocab sheet, including any vocab words you find interesting or new, along with their definitions. You don't have to include every term in the chapter, but find ones that are new to you or especially important, or that you would not have been able to define without looking up. (This will not be turned in. Keep as a study tool.)
WB: 9.1, 2-8. (WB will be turned in for credit)
Due Monday, April 6th.

HW #3 Homework for Monday will include the following: (Please assemble your HW in the order indicated.)

TB 9.1: 4, 10, 11-20, 24-26, Writing and Discussion #2
TB 9.1: 22, 23, 28 (these problems create a separate nifty big problem, involving “if I have n lines, how many intersections might I have?”)
Read the NCTM Content Standards for Pre-K-2, Grades 3-5, and Grades 6-8 for Geometry and Measurement. (These are in the front cover and back cover of your textbook). Using your write-up from HW 1, find at least one topic that matches your list for Grades K-3 and Grades 4-8. Then find at least one topic that you missed for Grades K-3 and Grades 4-8. Attach your well-labeled results to your original HW 1.
If you did not complete HW 1: Read the NCTM Content Standards for Pre-K-2, Grades 3-5, and Grades 6-8 for Geometry and Measurement. (These are in the front cover and back cover of your textbook). Find at least one topic that you remember learning as a child for each of the 3 grade groupings. Briefly describe what you recall from your elementary school experience. Then find at least one topic that you did not recall from each of the 3 grade groups.
Due Monday, April 13th

A net pattern is a single image that can be cutout and folded into a specified 3-D shape. Make Net patterns for hexagonal prism and square pyramid. Recall how there are multiple nets that make the cube. Create two distinct nets for each shape. The nets you turn in should be flat pieces of paper, not assembled.

HW #8 TB 10.2: 13-19, 21. Carefully show your work for both area and perimeter for each problem. You are encouraged to imagine that complicated shapes are built from simpler ones, like triangles and rectangles. Monday, May 11

HW #9 Homework: Read all the lessons created by other groups. Individually, type a 1 page reflection on what you notice about the lessons. (1 page total, not one page each... What do the lessons have in common? How are they different? What did you notice or learn through this actitity? etc)
Email your writing, either as a word document, pdf, or in the body of the email. Please use the subject heading "Area Lessonplan Reflection - Your Name" Please submit by midnight Sunday, May 17th.
email to jfasteen@pdx.edu

Link to Homework
If there are any geometry topics you would like to review further or that we haven't covered, please email me suggestions over the next few days. Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and consider investing in some sidewalk chalk and making your neighborhood extra pretty. Keep in mind that "Memorial Day" was originally called "Decoration Day."
Wed, May 27th

Weeks 7-10: More Geometry and Constructions, Ch 11

HW #13 Homework for Monday

Choose one of the following 2 options:
Option 1: If you are finding the sections of perimeter, area, volume, and surface area challenging, create a list of 2 or more problems in each category that you think would be worth looking at in class. This will help me to see where to focus on our last week. Include pictures where appropriate.
Option 2: If you feel you have mastered the sections on perimeter, area, volume, and surface area, pick two of those categories and write a series of 3 problems each which are sequenced: “easier, moderate, challenging.” Include pictures where appropriate.

(for all students) Read Sect 11.1 TB 11.1 (p745): 15-21, 28-33, 39, 40, 41
