Mathematics

Geometry and Spatial Sense

• classify and construct polygons

Geometric Properties

• sort and classify quadrilaterals by geometric properties related to symmetry, angles, and sides
• sort polygons according to the number of lines of symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry, through investigation using a variety of tools

 

Patterns and Relationships

• make tables of values for growing patterns, given pattern rules in words

Location and Movement

• identify, perform, and describe, through investigations using a variety of tools, rotations of 180º and clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of 90º

 

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

 

Language

Reading

• summarize and explain the main ideas in information materials and cite details that support the main ideas

Writing

• generate, gather, and organize ideas and information to write for an intended purpose and audience
