PDF Lesson 5 Level 7-8 2D Geometry-Class Student

Pdf Summary

The document is an outline of a Math Kangaroo course focused on 2D Geometry for Level 7-8 students. It provides a structure for learning and problem-solving in this mathematical area, featuring a combination of instructional material, sample problems, and problem-solving strategies. <br /><br />**Content Overview:**<br />1. **Geometry Learning Objectives:** The course includes 10 lessons covering topics such as calculations with rational numbers, algebraic thinking, and various geometry-related subjects, including both 2D and 3D geometry as well as logic and combinatorics.<br /><br />2. **Problem-Solving Strategy:** A four-step approach to solving problems is emphasized, urging students to understand the problem, plan, execute the plan, and review their solution.<br /><br />3. **Key Concepts:** Students learn about important 2D geometry concepts—lines, angles, triangles, congruence, similarity, bisectors, perimeters, and areas. Vocabulary such as congruent, similar, and bisector is explained, including calculations for perimeters and areas of various shapes.<br /><br />4. **Sample Problems:** The document provides a variety of sample problems drawn from past Math Kangaroo contests, ranging from simple geometrical configurations to more complex ones involving calculations and logical reasoning.<br /><br />5. **Project-Based Learning:** Includes instructions for a Genius Hour Project, where students create a presentation based on geometry problems, which includes slides and a 3-4 minute presentation.<br /><br />6. **Wrap-Up and Practice:** The course wrap-up includes strategies for solving geometry problems and encourages practice using past contests and solutions.<br /><br />This comprehensive framework is designed to improve students' understanding and capability to solve 2D geometry problems, encouraging both individual learning and practical problem-solving skills.
