Grade 6: November Unit  (@ 20 days)

 Overview 
View the Video Introduction. During the next four weeks, 6th graders will be investigating area and perimeter of different polygons. Students will use vocabulary to analyze and discover relationships of 2 and 3-D figures. Pay close attention to the Essential Questions. You may be asked to answer the questions at the end of this unit.

Enduring Understandings - important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

  • Geometry builds our world. Geometry is used to solve problems.

Essential Questions - most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

  • How do you use the attributes of two- or three- dimensional shapes?

  • What are properties of geometric relationships?

  • What real world problems involve finding perimeter? What real world problems involve finding area?

  • What real world problems involve finding congruent shapes?

  • What real world problems involve using line symmetry?
