Grades 4-6 Station 1 Geometry 4G1 – Teacher Copy Activity 1 Materials Needed: Dice (one per group), 2 straws, handouts Students will roll the die to determine which type of line segment to create with the straws. The student will then draw the same type of lines (with arrows on both ends) on their paper. Grades 4-6 Station 2 4G2 – Teacher Copy Geometry Activity 1 Materials Needed: Shape Identifier handout, chips for markers Pair each student with a partner. Students should be given time to look at the shapes and their characteristics. With a book placed between them, the first person will guess which shape is being characterized by the other person using the Shape Identifier handout. If the student guesses the correct shape, a marker is placed on that shape. Play continues until both sheets are filled with markers. Grades 4-6 Station 3 4G3 – Teacher Copy Geometry Activity 1 Materials Needed: Handouts to cut out Students will cut out each shape and heading. A heading will be chosen and place the shapes that match the heading are placed underneath. Write the heading and the shapes that belong with the heading on a sheet of paper. Continue for each heading. Grades 4-6 Station 4 4G4 – Teacher Copy Geometry Activity 1 Materials Needed: Handout to cut out, 14 Plastic Easter Eggs per group Cut the strips of paper and place each one in its own plastic Easter Egg. Students may take one egg (or more depending on the group size), open it, and without talking find their match. *This can be a large group activity.* Grades 4-6 Station 5 5G1 – Teacher Copy Geometry Activity 1 Materials Needed: Handout Using the circle provided, students will measure the parts shown, and answer the questions. Activity 2 Materials Needed: Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi book by Cindy Neuschwander Read Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi. Students will answer the questions provided on notebook paper. Grades 4-6 Station 6 5G2 – Teacher Copy Geometry Activity 1 Materials Needed: Handout Use the graphic organizers to describe each of the following geometric terms: line, segment, ray, angle, skew, parallel, & perpendicular Grades 4-6 Station 7 5G3 – Teacher Copy Geometry Activity 1 Materials Needed: PowerPoint to act as a SMARTBoard Using the PowerPoint, identify each of the following then click to see the answer: vertex, rays, interior and exterior for an angle. Students will sketch a picture of each on their paper. Be sure students include the label. Activity 1 Station 1 Geometry 4G1 Groups of 2 will play the game below. First, determine who will go first. The first player will roll the die. Use the chart below to determine which type of line segment you must create with the straws. Place the straws to show that type of a line segment. Then, draw the same type of lines (not line segments) on your paper. The second player will check your answers using the LINE & LINE SEGMENT SHEET. Once the information is correctly written, it is the second player’s turn. 1: intersecting 2: parallel 3: perpendicular 4: intersecting 5: parallel 6: perpendicular LINE & LINE SEGMENT SHEET Line segments have 2 end points. Intersecting Line Segments cross Parallel Line Segments have the same slope Perpendicular Line Segments cross & create right angles Lines extend forever in both directions and must have arrows on both ends. Intersecting Lines Cross at one point Parallel Lines have the same slope Perpendicular Lines cross & make right angles Activity 1 - Station 2 Geometry 4G2 Look at the SHAPE IDENTIFIER sheet. In groups of two, determine who will go first. Place a book between you. The person going first will turn over their SHAPE IDENTIFIER sheet so they can no longer see it. Player 2 will look at the SHAPE IDENTIFIER sheet, choose a random shape, and give the clues for that shape. If Player 1 correctly identifies the shape, Player 2 will cover that shape with a marker. Switch turns. Player 2 must place the SHAPE IDENTIFIER sheet to the side and is not allowed to look at it during their turn. Player 1 now chooses a shape and reads the clues to Player 2. Play continues until both sheets are filled with markers. SHAPE IDENTIFIER Sheet I am a 2D shape. I am a type of parallelogram. All four of my sides are equal. My angles do NOT have to be 90 degrees.

Diameter = _________________ Radius = ___________________ How are the radius and diameter related? Measure the distance from the center to any point on the line that creates the circle. Try this for 3 different points. Center to 1st point: ___________________ Center to 2nd point: ___________________ Center to 3rd point: ___________________ What is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the line that creates the circle? ________________ What is this called? ______________________________ Activity 2 – Station 5 Geometry 5G1 Read Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi. Answer the questions on your notebook paper. 1) What would you guess about the height of Radius and the height of his mother, Lady Di of Ameter (diameter)? 2) What is the relationship between the diameter of a circle and its circumference? 3) Draw a picture showing the relationship between the diameter of a circle and its circumference.
