| Description | The main focus of the unit is the reinforcement of the basic
geometric principles, the introduction of angles, coordinate graphing, area and perimeter, polygons, and TI 73 graphing calculators. Mathematical concepts are introduced through the integration of math and literature. Building on our first unit, Shape Up with Geometry, we have reinforced basic vocabulary and continued to provide the necessary instruction in geometric principles and hands - on activities to better prepare students for more advanced instruction. | |
