This math unit begins by exploring the congruence and similarity of 2D shapes, helping students recognize geometric properties and relationships. Initially, learners identify and differentiate these properties in 2D shapes, progressing to more complex identification tasks involving both congruence and similarity criteria. The unit transitions into the three-dimensional realm by teaching the naming and identification of parts of 3D shapes, such as vertices, faces, and edges. Here, students not only learn to recognize these elements but also practice counting them in various 3D figures, enhancing their spatial awareness and understanding of three-dimensional forms. Subsequently, the unit shifts focus back to 2D shapes, particularly circles, where students delve into understanding parts of a circle and the mathematical relationships between a circle’s diameter and radius. This section anchors knowledge on the geometric basics of circles. The final phase of this unit involves a comprehensive treatment of triangle classification. Students learn to classify triangles based on angles (acute, right, obtuse) and by their sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral), consolidating their understanding with reverse classification practices and reinforcing their overall grasp of geometric properties and relationships integral to both two and three-dimensional shapes.
