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.

Polygon activity 1

Triangles activity A,  Triangles activity B , Polygon activity A, Polygon activity A, Polygon activities B 1/2 ,  Polygon activities B 2/2 , Polygon activity C , A measuring tool for comparison of lengths , Quadrilaterals A , Quadrilaterals B: Square & Rectangle – same and different, Line of reflective symmetry 1/2, Line of reflective symmetry 2/2, Quadrilaterals C: Square & Rectangle , Lines of symmetry in quadrilaterals, Translation of shapes

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.

A measuring tool for comparison of length

Triangles activity A,  Triangles activity B , Polygon activity A, Polygon activity A, Polygon activities B 1/2 ,  Polygon activities B 2/2 , Polygon activity C , A measuring tool for comparison of lengths , Quadrilaterals A , Quadrilaterals B: Square & Rectangle – same and different, Quadrilaterals C: Square & Rectangle Line of reflective symmetry 1/2, Line of reflective symmetry 2/2,  , Lines of symmetry in quadrilaterals, Translation of shapes

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.

The pupils will identify the following quadrilaterals: Square,rectangle,trapezoid.

Space ship.

In this lesson the pupils will investigate through folding different quadrilaterals and their properties. The final shape will be a surprize for the pupils.While folding the pupils will learn new concepts and revise previously learnt concepts.

The concepts of vertices and  sides of polygons.

The pupils will identify quadrilaterals according to the number of sides.

Investigation of different quadrilaterals found during the folding process.  At the end of the lesson, there is a surprise for the pupils.  They learn new geometric concepts and revising previously learnt concepts.

The concepts of sides and right-angles in polygons.

• The pupils will identify the square and rectangle and know the same and different properties of each shape.
• The pupils will fold a rectangle from a square and investigate the lengths of the sides.
