Download Unit 6

Subject: Math
Grade Level: 5th
Unit Title: Geometry
Big Idea/Theme: Geometry
Understandings:
Timeframe Needed for Completion: 1 week
Grading Period: 4th Quarter- Unit 6
Classify two-dimensional figures based on properties
Objects can be described and compared using their geometric attributes
Points, lines, and planes are the foundation of geometry
Essential Questions:
Curriculum Goals/Objectives (to be assessed at the end of the
unit/quarter)
When and where in real life do we use graphs, charts, and tables?
How can you collect, organize, and display data?
Where in the world can you find shapes?
What geometric properties used to solve problems in everyday life?
How can I put shapes together and take them apart to form other shapes?
5.G.3 Understand that attributes belonging to a category of twodimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For
example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so
all squares have four right angles
5.G.4 Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
