I have been busy creating resources for my class and TPT. One topic that has been hard for my students in the past is geometry. There is SOOOOO much vocabulary that students have to understand about the attribute of lines and angles before they can then use those attributes to classify polygons. Heck, who am I kidding...I still had 4th graders who could not identify the basic regular polygons, much less classify quadrilaterals by the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines. And now with Common Core's expectation for 4th graders to be able to use protractors, something we had not done before, I knew I needed more resources. My math program doesn't give students much direct instruction with the attributes of lines, angles, or polygons. Much of the geometry unit uses "Power Polygons", little plastic pieces that students use to make other polygons. While the kids have fun with them, they weren't transferring the concepts to the more abstract questions that might appear on an assessment. This year, I kind of did my own thing, with SMARTBoard files I created after studying exactly what the Common Core expects for geometry. I created a file for lines and angles, which I taught first, and then followed up with a file for Polygons, since students need to understand the attributes of lines and angles before they can classify polygons. After using these files with my class, (and not using my math book..shhh), my students scored the best on the spring assessment that any class of mine had ever done! Many scored in the advanced range for the geometry strand. This summer I tweaked the contents of the files and now have them up on TPT in a variety of formats. I have them bundled with pdf printables or by themselves Geometry SMARTBoard File: Lines and Angles Geometry Printables: Lines and Angles Geometry SMARTBoard and Printables Bundle: Lines and Angles Geometry Vocabulary Cards for Lines and Angles Geometry SMARTBoard File: Polygons Geometry Printables: Polygons Geometry SMARTBoard and Printables Bundle: Polygons Geometry Vocabulary Cards for Polygons Since using a protractor was a new skill for my kiddos, (and maybe a rusty skill for some of you)... like it was for me...I created this "How to Use a Protractor" Freebie.

Good Evening beautiful people how is everyone Thursday going? Mines going great can't complain. I know I haven't been that consistent and I apologize this month has been very teaching to me. I wanted to come today and talk about self-doubt I struggle with this a lot. I'm learning I have to keep a clear mind on this journey I'm on and keep positive thoughts coming to my mind. Which is easier said than done I'm learning myself and my triggers and emotions. And how to let go of the past that weighs so heavily on my back. Which is where a lot of my self-doubt comes from. I have to remember that I am beautiful and have so much to live for. And I can't let my thoughts or moments in life get me distracted from the bigger picture. Every lesson bad or good is just that a lesson a teachable moment. I have to sit back and analyze the lesson and move forward. I just wanted to share my thoughts with you guys I love you all. And we are all on this journey together. Peace and blessings to you all, please comment and share. ”I seek strength, not to be greater than other, but to fight my greatest enemy, the doubts within myself” -unknown https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/19894993/?claim=jvc4jtgymt7
