I'm going to be spending pretty much the whole month of February teaching geometry to my 4th graders. I am excited to be able to use Logo and Sketchpad in my teaching. I am an intervention teacher, meaning I have the lowest 10 4th graders, so I am hoping that these programs will really help motivate the students about geometry. If anyone has any suggestions on lesson ideas or ways to help the students learn all the vocabulary, please let me know. 4th grade is really where students are required to learn ALOT of vocabulary like parallel lines, perpendicular lines, types of angles, types of quadrilaterals, and some polygons like hexagons, pentagons, and octagons.

  1. This is wonderful - what good timing for you to have this course! We need to talk more about how to teach vocabulary, in our class. I will showcase an assignment that I use to help students create their own examples.
