4th Grade Unit 4 – Geometry

Unit Overview
Content Focus – Students work measuring using standard linear units, describing 2-dimensional figures, and measuring angles.
Looking Back… Students have had experience with perimeter, angles and area in 3rd grade. They should have familiarity with a range of 2-D shapes including attributes of triangles and quadrilaterals and identifying right angles.
Looking Forward… Students will build on this work later by applying their understanding of area to more complex polygons. Students will be tasked with measuring angles in the future.
