The Charlotte Mason Practical Geometry – Part 1

Description

Learn foundational geometry concepts through enjoyable hands-on lessons!

The study of practical geometry is a hands-on study of geometry concepts that lays a foundation for a future formal study of geometry in high school. Starting in 5th grade, practical geometry lessons come alongside math lessons for variety and to introduce new mathematical concepts.

These fun, interesting lessons take approximately 30 minutes each. Charlotte Mason Practical Geometry, Part 1 is designed to be completed in one 36-week school year with lessons done once a week.

Like the The Charlotte Mason Elementary Arithmetic Series, the book is a beautiful, non-consumable hardcover. One book can be used and re-used with all your children!

Geometry Concepts

In Charlotte Mason Practical Geometry, Part 1, your student will learn to use several geometrical tools:

Ruler
Drawing Compass
Protractor
Set Squares

Your student will explore these concepts through hands-on lessons that build foundational understanding of key geometry concepts and logical thinking skills:

Solid shapes: edges, faces, and vertices
Lines and line segments
Points
Curves
Intersections of lines
Enclosing spaces
Measurements: US standard and metric
Acceptable error in measurements
Estimating measurements
Use of drawing compass
Recording measurements in fraction and decimal form
Parts of a circle: circumference, radius, center, diameter, chord, arc
Overlapping and concentric circles
Bisecting line segments
Stepping off distances
Parts of angles: ray, vertex, arm
Types of angles: acute, obtuse, right, straight, reflex
Measuring angles
Drawing and naming angles
Adjacent and supplementary angles
Vertical angles
Copying angles
Bisecting angles
Parallel and perpendicular lines
Using set squares
Transversals
Interior, exterior, corresponding, alternate, consecutive, and congruent angles
Triangles: equilateral, isosceles, scalene
Triangles: acute, obtuse, rightPlease note: This item is final sale as it includes a downloadable code inside the book.

In addition to the exercises and solution guide available in this book, your purchase includes access to our Practical Geometry Video Library, which offers visual walk-throughs of many components of the course. You can watch these videos independently before you teach your student, or you can watch them together as part of your lesson.
