3. Geometry (G)
Third Grade
- "Recognize the Basic Elements of Geometric Objects"
- A+ Math -- Games -- Matho-Geometry Version - In this site, students can use their knowledge of geometric shapes to play the game called Matho. Appropriate for students in grades 3-5. If the answer is correct the space is filled with an "X", if the answer is incorrect the student is given another shape to find. Immediate feedback is given the student.
- A+ Math -- Flashcards - Students are shown a specific geometric shape and asked to recognize it from a large list of choices. Immediate feedback is given to the student. Appropriate for grades 3 -5.
- About Symmetry and Pattern (Field Patterns) - This site is appropriate for upper elementary grades. Examples of shapes and letters are shown and how they create patterns and how rotating the letters create a change in the pattern.
- Making Triangles and Electronic Geoboard - This is a teacher directed site that would be good for K on up. With teacher direction the child can use an electronic geoboard to make, change, transform and explore shapes.
- Study the Shapes - Outstanding - Grades 3 and up. This interactive site allows students to explore and manipulate geometric shapes. Students are encouraged to compare and describe shapes according to their attributes.
- The Mysterious Tangram - This is a very student friendly and fun site. Students build shapes by turning, flipping, and combining others to fill patterns. The site gives clues and encourages children by using positive sayings. Good for children 1st grade through 6th.
- Toon University - This game focuses on two skills: identifying angles as acute, obtuse, or right angles, and determining whether angles are congruent. Students help the robot choose the right answer by firing missiles at spaceships
- Virtual Manipulatives Geometry - This site contains activities for students to explore various geometric concepts using virtual manipulatives. Explanations for use and links to math standards are provided.
- "Name, and Explore Properties of Shapes"
- About Symmetry and Pattern (Field Patterns) - This site is appropriate for upper elementary grades. Examples of shapes and letters are shown and how they create patterns and how rotating the letters create a change in the pattern.
