__Day 1__: After completing the lesson in class about Lines and Angles we will play a game of Simon Says with angles. In this game you will be told to model a specific angle with your arms. The angles will be either obtuse, right, or acute. If you model the angle correctly, you will be able to move on to the next round, if you model it incorrectly, you will be asked to take a seat. We will go through 10 rounds or until 1 person is left. Whoever is left at the end is the winner (there can be more that one winner). The winner/winners will be allowed to pick from the prize box. I will then hand out a [|Name that Angle Worksheet], which you will be asked to label the angles. When finished it should me handed into me. Then you will complete the following Quiz by writing the correct answers on your own sheet of paper. //1 pts. // |||| What is a straight path continuing without end in both directions?  ||

__Day 2:__ After the lesson on Polygons, we will have a discussion on where we have seen these shapes in everyday life. Make sure to think about objects you have seen in the past, like food, signs, or even things in the classroom. Be prepared because you may be called on! I will then hand out the [|Classify Shape Worksheet]. On this worksheet you will color the shape according to the term it matches. When you are finished with the worksheet turn it in to me. I will then give you permission to play the [|Shape Matching Game]. You can play this by yourself or with a partner. Make sure to click on the picture of the shapes before you start the game.



__Day 3:__ After the I go over the Quadrilateral lesson, I am going to have you create a venn diagram using some of the terms we went over in class. For this you will make two overlapping circle with the common characteristics in the overlapping section and the unique characteristics on the non-overlapping section. You can compare rectangles and parallelograms, rectangles and trapezoids, etc. After you are done with your diagram, you will be able to work on the Virtual Geoboard on the computer. When you are working on the geoboard I want you to create a square, a rectangle, a parallelogram, and a trapezoid. I will be walking around to make sure you are on task.



__Day 4:__ After we finish the lesson on Triangles, we will do an activity involving pretzels. I will then pass out 3 pretzel sticks that are all even in size. It is very important that you do not eat or break these until I tell you to do so. This is going to be worth a grade so if you do not follow the rules you will receive a zero. Once I pass out the pretzel sticks you will put them into the shape of a triangle. All of the sides are equal so this is an equilateral triangle. Next I will ask you to bite off a piece of one of the pretzel sticks and then form the pretzels into a triangle, this will display an isosceles triangle. Then I will ask you bite off a piece of a different pretzel, and this will display a scalene triangle. Upon finishing the activity, everyone will go to the computers to work on the [|Virtual Geoboard]. Here you will model right triangles, obtuse triangles, and scalene triangles. You will also model scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles.



__Day 5:__ After I finish explaining similarity, congruency, and symmetry to the class, you will be instructed to take out a sheet of paper and a pencil. On one side of the paper you will draw all congruent shapes. On the other side of that piece of paper you will draw all similar shapes. You will then go to the computers and play the Symmetry Game. In this game you answer the number of lines of symmetry in the object. You will then work on the Virtual Geoboard. Once on the geoboard you will create similar and congruent shapes. You will also create and object and then use another rubber band to display its line of symmetry. I will be going around to check your progress.
