Geometry+Work+Stations

Geometry work stations include so much more than shape identification. Students will have the opportunity to build spatial sense, that is being able to visualize objects and spatial relationships. They'll notice shapes in the world around them in buildings, art and nature. They'll experiment with congruence and symmetry and build their geometry vocabulary. "By continually talking about what they see, students clarify their thinking, begin to won the mathematical concepts, and develop more confidence with the language of geometry" (Diller 163).

Here's the link to many resources related to geometry work stations. Click on the tab for Chapter 7 at the top. Also be sure to explore the other tabs at the top of the page and the links to other blogs at the bottom of the page. [|Geometry Work Stations]

Here's a virtual geoboard site that could be used as a center **after** students have had multiple experiences with real geoboards. [|Virtual Geoboard]
