Fourth Grade Geometry
4th Grade Unit- Theory
The 4th grade Geometry Unit was based on research that explains how students develop their understanding of geometric concepts. In order to ensure students success in geometry and to develop their ability to think and reason in a geometric context, The van Hiele Model of the Development of Geometric Thought was utilized. The van Hiele model is a sequential model that has a five-level hierarchy of geometric thinking. In this unit we will be addressing the first three levels.
The van Hiele Levels of Geometric Thought Summary
(From Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, Teaching Developmentally, by John Van de Walle, Karen Karp, and Jennifer Bay-Williiams. Pearson Education, Inc., Boston (2010).)
Level 0: Visualization- Students know vocabulary, can identify shapes by its appearance, and can begin to classify shapes by similarities and differences.
Level 1: Analysis- Students begin to recognize parts of shapes, and as they look at them they make generalizations to understand the properties of shapes. Students refine their understanding of symmetry, angle classification (right, obtuse, acute), parallel and perpendicular.
Level 2: Informal Deduction- Students begin to understand the relationship between properties. For example, “If all four angles are right angles, then the shape must be a rectangle. If it is a square, then all angles are right angles. If it is a square, then it must be a rectangle.” If-then reasoning is established to lead to logical arguments of properties.
Level 3: Deduction-Students begin to develop definitions, theorems, corollaries, and postulates to establish geometric truths. Students are able to make conclusions based on abstract statements about geometric properties.
Level 4: Rigor- “The objects of thought at level 4 are deductive, axiomatic systems of geometry.” (Generally the level of college geometry courses)
The levels are sequential, hierarchical, and not age dependent. Our goal is to guide students through the progression of these levels.

Fourth Grade Geometry
Big Idea: Objects can be described, classified and analyzed based on their attributes.
Mathematical Standards:
Major emphasis standard : 4.G.1 Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two dimensional figures.
4.G.2 Supporting Standard: Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence ofparallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category and identify right triangles.
Essential Questions:
How can parallel and perpendicular lines be identified?
How can you use a right angle to classify all angles?
What geometric components make up figures?
What properties do geometric shapes have in common?

Prior Knowledge, Context, and Motivation: The purpose of this lesson is to practice how to work together in collaborative groups. Students will have a collaborative discussion which may include argument.
Body of the Lesson: Activities/ Questioning/ Tasks/ Strategies/ Technology/ Engagement
Lesson Overview
Teacher Directions • Pass out pre-assessment and explain to the students that the
purpose of the test is to see what they already know. Theyshould not worry if they don’t know the answers, just do thebest they can. The same test will be given at the end of the unitto measure growth.
• Introduce Content and Language Objectives.• Discuss ways to have a respectful discussion. Explain that in a
discussion it is ok to agree and disagree, but that it must bedone in a respectful way. To facilitate this we will be usingsentence frames. Pass out the sentence frames for collaborativeconversation and review them.
• Pass out “Sierpinski Triangle” to each student. Ask eachstudent to count how many triangles are in the picture. Givestudents 5 minutes to count the triangles on their own, and thenask them to discuss their answers with their collaborativegroup. Students should be able to give an answer and justify orexplain how they got it. If the students have different answers,(which is expected), have them use the sentence frames todebate the answer.
Differentiated Instruction:
English Learners: Collaborative sentence frames are provided on Collaborative Conversations handout.
Students Who Need Additional Support:
See Appendix
Accelerated Learners:
Allow students to create their own shape-like version of the Sierpinski Triangle. This activity can be extended over two days.

Fourth Grade Geometry
Preparing the Learner A
• To continue practicing collaborative conversations, have thestudents pair up with a second collaborative group to againdebate their answers. After approximately 10 minutes, open adiscussion with the whole class comparing/contrasting their twodiscussions. What issues came up when working in a largergroup as opposed to a smaller group? How did the grouphandle disagreement? What norms need to be established forcollaborative talk? Work with the students to create a list of 4-6 norms
o Suggested norms§ We listen to one another.§ We share our own ideas and explain them.§ We respect one another’s ideas, even if they are
different.§ We respectfully disagree and try to see the
other view.§ We let others finish explaining their ideas
without interrupting.§ We take turns and share time.
• Explain that throughout the unit the class will be using thenorms in their collaborative groups and have them copy thenorms into their math journal.
• Review Content and Language Objectives.• Homework – In student math journals, students write a
paragraph describing a successful collaborative group. (Whatwould you see? What would you hear?)

introduced them please display them throughout the entire unit.• Introduce daily Content and Language Objective• Review Collaborative Conservation Frames• Pass out one piece of construction paper, geometric figure
handout, glue, and scissors.• Tell the students that they will be sorting their geometric figures
into groups after they have cut them out. Each group will decidehow to sort the figures based on a common geometric property(their choice).
• Remind students to follow group norms.• Tell students that they will be presenting their completed sort to
the class, and the class will guess how the shapes were sorted.• Give students 5-10 minutes to discuss, sort cards, and glue them
on the construction paper.• Collaborative groups will write the property they used to sort the
figures on the top of the construction paper so that it can befolded and hidden from view.
• All groups should present one of their groupings. Eachcollaborative group will guess how the shapes were sorted andwrite the group answer on a student whiteboard or piece of paper.When all groups have attempted to guess, the presenting groupwill explain how they sorted.
• As groups are presenting the teacher will create add the followingterms to the word bank of geometric terms as they are generatedby the students: line segment, point, ray, line, angle.
• After all groups have presented, the students should answer theessential question “What properties do geometric figures have incommon?” in their math journals.

Lesson 1
Teacher Talk
Students will be sorting shapes and justifying their answers. Your students may benefit from some to
the accommodations and modifications below:
Based on your students' fine motor skills, you may want to precut the "geometric
shapes handout" and place them in a baggie, before you handout the materials.
Instead of having the students do the "T-Chart and sort”, you may want to create a tree
map with your students and sort the figures using the "common geometric property."
For the homework, it suggested that you complete this homework together (whole
group), before passing it out for the students to do at home independently.
OR
Start the homework with your students (doing questions that might be more difficult)
and then have them complete the rest of the homework assignment independently at
home.
77
Lesson 2
Teacher Talk
Students will be sorting figures by their lines. Students will have to know the definitions
of parallel and perpendicular lines.
Some students may benefit from the individual circle maps that help to define the
different lines.
The teacher may use the following supports:
circle maps of each type of line

Lesson 3
Teacher Talk
Students will be learning about the different angles: right, obtuse, acute. They will be
able to describe the properties of the angles.
Students may benefit from the following supports:
circle maps of each type of angle
sort organizer to provide guidance for students who might need it
- Some students may benefit from “I do, we do, you do” when sorting the
angles. It is important to choose an angle from each of the 4 categories on the sort
to ensure student understanding of angle properties.

Lesson 4
Teacher Talk
Students will define basic geometric terms. The lesson includes effective strategies and
materials that benefit all students. These supports are in form of video, peer
collaboration, and the use of visual resources. Please rotate around groups to ensure
that students receive immediate corrective feedback and additional support, as needed.
87
Lesson 5
Teacher Talk
Students will learn that shapes can change or be modified. Some students may benefit
from the following accommodations or modifications to the lesson:
Students will have the opportunity to have an unencumbered watch of The
Greedy Triangle video. Do not pause, stop, or interject during this first
unencumbered watch.
During the second watch teachers may want to implement an “I do, we do, you
do” note taking process with the Note-taking Guide as a whole group or in a
small group format.
88
Lesson 6
Teacher Talk
Students will be asked to identify what makes up geometric shapes, along with creating different types
of geometric shapes. Your students may benefit from the following accommodations and modifications:
Before playing the "Pick Up Sticks Game" your students may benefit practicing finding
angles in a small or whole group format. You may practice using the "Premade Pick Up
Sticks Pictorial".
Pass one page and some crayons to each group. Allow them to
use the crayons to color the different angles or lines they see.
Then have them record their answers in their journal.
For activities 1-3, your students may benefit from a visual for each triangle that they are
creating to support their task completion.

Lesson 7
Teacher Talk
Students are asked to individually create a map that has all the lines, angles and geometric shapes that
have been learned throughout the unit. Your students may benefit from the following accommodations
and modifications:
Depending on your students’ levels, rather than having the students create a map, you
have the option to modify their test by giving them a Premade Map and then have them
answer questions where they have to label the angles, lines, and geometric shapes.
Before you give your students the Premade Map and questions, as a whole group, use
the “Practice Map” to find the following:
parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines
line segments, lines, and rays
acute, obtuse, and right angles.
