Geometric Shapes Learning Center Deborah Thonus

This PowerPoint is designed to be used as a learning center. Students will see video clips of different shapes found in the world around them. They will also see how shapes are combined and subdivided. There are 2 opportunities for informal assessment. This PowerPoint learning center also contains instructions for follow-up projects so students may perform their understanding in new problems and in tangible ways. To provide multiple entry points to the content, students will have choices with a variety of products and the video clips they watch.
