The pupils will fold and identify shapes according to their properties.

The pupils will use paper folding in order to make geometric shapes and investigate their properties.

In this lesson the pupils investigate polygons that are formed during the folding process. There is a surprise at the end of the lesson.  The pupils learn new concepts and refresh their previous learning.

If during the folding process there are cases of inexact folding by some of the pupils, then these cases will be used to identify differences between the polygons and their properties. The pupils will also learn the concept of polygon sides and vertices.

The pupils  will use the measuring tool for comparison of lengths and identification of right angles.

Pupils will identify right angles intuitively using the measuring tool.

Pupils will identify right angles in various orientations.

The measuring tool should be folded  and kept in the pupils workbook at the conclusion of each lesson.

Intuitive  identification  of right angles.

• To identify a line of reflective symmetry.

In this lesson the pupils will investigate perpendicular and intersecting lines. At the conclusion of this lesson the final model will be a surprise while learning new concepts and revising previously learnt geometrical concepts.

Angles,right angle,sides of a polygon.

Investigate pyramids

• Description of a pyramid, number of faces,edges and vertices.
• Recognition of a triangular pyramid and envelope of a pyramid.
• Pyramids with different bases.

Envelope of a triangular pyramid.

First lesson on the topic of 3-D solids.

Pupils will construct a triangular pyramid, investigate the properties of this pyramid, the envelope of this pyramid constructed from triangles and comparison of  the envelope and the solid.

Polygons and triangles.

The pupils during the folding process will identify polygons according to stated properties. The pupils will learn how to form different polygons with their sheets and investigate the various properties of the folded shapes.

Polygon activity 3 decomposition and composition 1/2

The decomposing and composing activities allow the children to create various polygons during the folding process and with the combination of several triangular folded shapes. With a series of questions and answers during the folding process the pupils are able to deepen their geometric reasoning in a dynamic environment.
