quadrilaterals

Ancient Architecture

This is a level 5 geometry strand activity from the Figure It Out series.

Quad Queries

This is a level 4 geometry strand activity from the Figure It Out series.

Inside Out

This is a level 3 geometry activity from the Figure it Out series.

Getting in Shape

This is a level 3 geometry activity from the Figure it Out series.

Houses

This unit seeks to connect learning outcomes across all five content strands, number, geometry, statistics, algebra, and measurement.  The context of houses is used to develop concepts such as drawing and modelling 3-dimensional objects, using co-ordinate systems to locate position, finding all the possibilities of events, and identifying paths through simple networks.  The unit provides an excellent vehicle for students to use a broad range of problem solving strategies.

Areas of Rectangles

In this unit students learn to use the multiplication formula to find the area of a rectangle. Using proportional reasoning students explore what happens to the area when the length and/or height of a rectangle is doubled.

Polygonal Strings

This is a problem from the number and algebra strand.

Peter's Third String

Determine the maximum area of a rectangle with a given perimeter

Consider how the area of a quadrilateral changes as its shape changes

Interpret a relationship from a graph

From a Square to a Rectangle

Solve problems involving percentage increases and decreases

Apply the area formulas for squares and rectangles

Devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically (be systematic, use a diagram).

Flip's Flag

apply the angle properties of squares, rectangles and triangles

use fractions to express the relationships between the areas of rectangles, squares and triangles

devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically (be systematic).
