In the lessons and worksheets for this program, students will
learn and reinforce these geometry skills: Lesson 1: measuring
perimeter and area of 2D shapes; Lesson 2: measuring surface
area of 3D shapes; and Lesson 3: measuring volume of 3D shapes.
The materials are taught through this story line: A popular band
called The Geometrics is planning a big concert at a school, but
they need help to build a stage and promote the show. Some
students volunteer to become the Geometrics Stage Crew and use
their geometry knowledge to help. Before launching the lessons,
you can engage students in a discussion about real-world
geometry with the classroom mini poster (PDF). Show your class
how geometric shapes can be found in the concert setting on the
poster. Ask students where they have seen these shapes in their
daily lives. The poster includes fundamental formulas you can
display in the classroom year-round. In addition, there is a
handy formulas reference sheet (PDF) of formulas and definitions
for teachers and stude
