How Fifth Grade Looks at Geometry

Here is an example of what the fifth grade wrote about their thoughts on Geometry and what they learned from this unit. I had them share their thoughts with the class as they presented their project. I was very excited to see that the boys now look at the world through a geometry perspective and see how much math plays a part in their life.

One group even brought up that making pills has geometry involve and how big to make the containers that the pills will go into. Teaching with discovery has really allowed these boys to own their learning and question things they are learning.
