Synopsis: This unit is based on the idea that movement in the classroom needs to be a vital part of our everyday lesson planning. Throughout this unit, students will experience a variety of activities that allow them to not only access the grade level content standards, but also to get their blood flowing and help their brain become activated for the day’s lesson. A menu-like option of lessons allows for teachers to pick and choose from the lessons provided to supplement the current curriculum with what their students may need. In addition, these lessons are also great replacements for indoor recess or can be shared with your special area teachers for a content-focused lesson! 

The lessons within this unit focus on key geometry skills such as: 

● building and identifying 2D and 3D shapes 

● identifying lines, line segments, points, rays, and angles 

● utilizing attributes of quadrilaterals, triangles, and three-dimensional shapes to describe geometric figures
