Deep Dive into Geometry

1st - 3rd Grade #Mathematics ************************************ Geometry and fractions are all around us! Join Elaine among a masterpiece of Rookwood tiles at Greenacres Arts Center as she explores the art of geometric shapes. Vocabulary: fractions, graphing, horizontals, verticals, diagonals, patterns Standards: MP.4 Model with mathematics MP.7 Look for and make use of structure 3.G.2 Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. For example, partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area, and describe the area of each part as 1 /4 of the area of the shape. 1.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of or four of the shares in real-world contexts. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares. 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares; describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, or fourths and quarters, and use the phrases half of, third of, or fourth of and quarter of. Describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, or four fourths in real -world contexts. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
