 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Student-Friendly Objective: || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">We will identify polygons by the number of sides and in order to recognize real-world examples of geometric shapes. We will use a digital camera to capture images of real-world geometric shapes. We will use our images to create a class PowerPoint presentation informing younger students about geometry in the real-world. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Access and Assessment of Prior Knowledge: || //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Can you name examples of geometric shapes? //
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Procedures: || //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">This lesson can be taught at the conclusion of Everyday Math Unit 5. The students will be able to build upon existing knowledge about geometric shapes. It is recommended that this lesson would take place over the course of two days. //
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Read __The Greedy Triangle__ by Marilyn Burns. As you read, pause and ask students to identify the geometric shapes that the triangle turns into and the real-world examples of each.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Explain to the students that they will be using a digital camera to capture images of geometric shapes that they can find around them.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Take the students on a walk outside the school building, if possible. Give each student time to observe their surroundings and identify an object to represent a geometric shape. The students should record the name of their object on a post-it note.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">After each student identifies an object, take the group on a second walk. This time, each student will have the chance photograph their object with the camera.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students may continue to list real-world examples of geometric shapes as they wait for the other students to take their pictures.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The students will use the “Geometry in the Real World” planning sheet to illustrate their picture and identify and describe which geometric shape is represented by the picture. The planning sheet will help the students to create their PowerPoint slide the following day.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Each student will have access to a computer, possibly in a computer lab. The students will access the teacher-created template in Microsoft PowerPoint.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The teacher will access [|Atomic Learning] and present two brief tutorials. Tutorial B.3. will show students how to add text to their slide, and tutorial G.4. will show students how to insert a picture.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The teacher will make sure that students know where their pictures are located so that students can access the images as they create their slides (ex. I-Drive—Grade 2—Carter—Templates—Geometry—Pictures).
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will create their own slide by:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Naming the object in the picture (ex. baseball diamond)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Inserting their digital image onto the slide
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Identifying and explaining what shape is present in the picture (ex. The baseball diamond represents a pentagon. It has five sides and five corners.)
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will “Save As” and rename the document to save their personal PowerPoint slide. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Assessment: || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">A rubric will be used to assess the students’ ability to accurately identify a real-world example of geometric shape. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Closure: || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The individual slides will be put together in one PowerPoint presentation. The presentation will be shared with the class when it is finished.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Procedures: || //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">This lesson is to be used with Activity 7 of the Sink and Float Unit. The students will have saved their clay boats from the previous experience to use in this activity. This lesson could take place over the course of two days. On the first day, students could conduct the experiments, and on the second day, the students could watch the videos and answer the “What Have We Learned” questions for the activity. //
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Each student will have the opportunity to test his/her clay boats. The students will place the boats in the water-filled container, dropping in marbles one-by-one until they sink. The teacher will video tape the experiments using a FlipCam.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The students will keep track of how many marbles each boat was able to hold until it sank.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Following the experiments, the teacher will download the videos onto a computer and project the videos onto the IWB.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will watch the videos, considering which characteristics affected the amount of cargo able to be carried by each boat. The class will discuss which characteristics allowed the boats to hold the most cargo. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Assessment: || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The students will complete the “What Have We Learned” section for Activity 7, answering questions to demonstrate their understanding of the activity. ||
