Geometric Properties

  • sort and classify quadrilaterals by geometric properties related to symmetry, angles, and sides

Patterning and Algebra

  • describe and represent relationships in growing and shrinking patterns (where the terms are whole numbers),and investigate repeating patterns involving rotations

 

Patterns and Relationships

  • identify geometric patterns through investigation
  • describe patterns rules that generate patterns by adding or subtracting a constant, or multiplying or dividing by a constant, to get the next term
