Shift #2: Coherence: Think Across Grades, and

Link to Major Topics Within Grades

• Carefully connect the learning within and across

grades so that students can build new

understanding on foundations built in previous

years.

• Begin to count on solid conceptual understanding of

core content and build on it. Each standard is not a

new event, but an extension of previous learning.

Activity: Card Sort

• In each envelope there are six standards from

the domain of Geometry

• Work with your fellow parents and organize

the strips into the Progression of Standards from

Kindergarten to Grade 5

• Be prepared to share the sequence of your

card sort and your justification for selecting

that order with the whole group.

Activity: Card Sort

Answers

• Kinder-Compose simple shapes to form larger

shapes. For example, "Can you join these two

triangles with full sides touching to make a

rectangle?"

• Grade 1-Distinguish between defining

attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-

sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g.,

color, orientation, overall size); build and draw

shapes to possess defining attributes.

Activity: Card Sort

Answers

• Grade 2-Recognize and draw shapes having

specified attributes, such as a given number of

angles or a given number of equal faces.1 Identify

triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.

• Grade 3-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.

Van Hiele Levels of Geometric

Reasoning

Level 0: Visualization

Students see shapes as total entities, but do not recognize properties

(“It’s a rectangle, because it looks like a door”.)

Page 19: engageNY/Eureka Math Parent Workshop, Session 3...Parent Workshop, Session 3 Saratoga USD March 16, 2016 Outcomes 2 •Review and understand the Van Hiele levels of Geometric Reasoning

Van Hiele Levels of Geometric

Reasoning

Level 1: Analysis Students identify properties of figures,

and see figures as a class of shapes (“It’s a rectangle, because it has one

long set of sides and one short set of sides, and opposite sides are parallel, and …”.)

Page 20: engageNY/Eureka Math Parent Workshop, Session 3...Parent Workshop, Session 3 Saratoga USD March 16, 2016 Outcomes 2 •Review and understand the Van Hiele levels of Geometric Reasoning

properties of shapes, and between classes of shapes; they also develop informal explanations using these relationships.

(“It’s a rectangle, because it is a

quadrilateral with four right angles”.)

Van Hiele Levels of Geometric

Reasoning

Level 3: Formal Deduction

Students understand the significance of deduction as a way of establishing geometric theory within an axiom system; they also see the interrelationship and role of undefined terms, axioms, theorems, and formal proof.

compare geometric results in different

axiom systems (non-Euclidean

geometries).

The Geometry Progression (K-5)

Three Categories/Themes

• Geometric shapes, their components,

their properties and their

categorization (Van Hiele levels)

• Composing and decomposing

geometric shapes

• Spatial relations and spatial structuring

Spatial Reasoning in Everyday Life

“Spatial thinking is integral to everyday life.

People, natural objects, human-made

objects, and human-made structures exist

somewhere in space, and the interactions of

people and things must be understood in

terms of locations, distances, directions,

shapes, and patterns.”

(National Research Council, 2006, p. 5)

Imagine This: Problem Solving with

the “Mind’s Eye” • Imagine a large cube floating in front of you. The cube is

made up of 64 smaller cubes and thus is a 4 x 4 x 4 cube.

Now, imagine that you are staring directly at the front of

the cube so that all you can see is the front face of the

cube – a 4 x 4 square face. You are now going to drill a

hole through the four corner cubes that are facing you,

all the way through to the back face. Now, imagine

looking down on the cube from above – a bird’s-eye

view. Again, your view is such that all you see is a 4 x 4

square. You drill a hole through the four corner cubes all

the way through to the other side. How many of the 64

cubes do not have holes drilled through them? Were

you able to visualize the solution?

62

Page 63: engageNY/Eureka Math Parent Workshop, Session 3...Parent Workshop, Session 3 Saratoga USD March 16, 2016 Outcomes 2 •Review and understand the Van Hiele levels of Geometric Reasoning

Increasing Geometric Thinking

• Have blocks of different shapes readily available for

making designs and building. Point out shapes in

everyday objects and try to re-create them with

blocks.

• Sort and classify all kinds of items. Emphasize that

people create the categories for sorting.

• Ask questions: Why? Why not? What if? These

questions prompt your child to think about and

describe features of mathematical objects, such as

shapes. They also encourage looking at things from

another's point of view.
