Two-Dimensional Geometry (Part 1) is available at the link above. Part 2 is available here.
In this packet, students will explore concepts in geometry and measurement. Geometry is the part of math that involves lines, shapes and space.
In Part 1, students will study the following topics:
- Two-dimensional shapes
- Measures and units of length (perimeter and circumference)
- Measures and units of area
- Geometric formulas
- The Pythagorean Theorem
- Scale factors
In Part 2 students will explore concepts of area in the social studies context of population density.
Note: If you are teaching with the packet, we recommend breaking it up into smaller pieces. We created a step by step guide for folks who are not sure how to break a PDF file into smaller chunks: Breaking Up is (not) Hard to Do.
If you use these materials with your students, please give us feedback on the experience (teacher survey, student survey). Your feedback on the packets will help us improve the materials, and support our students’ success.
Both the PDF and document versions here are the most up-to-date versions. We recommend checking this page regularly to see if there have been any version updates.
The Fast Track GRASP Math Packets are made available for teachers who work with students in distance learning, Fast Track Math classes, and traditional ABE/HSE classes. The packets provided practice in high-priority topic areas by developing underlying concepts as an introduction to each topic. Students then are given practice applying what they have learned in context. Students work through HSE-style questions followed by guidance on test-taking skills and explanation of answer choice design. Finally, an optional section on the language of the math topic is provided. We hope that this section is helpful for all students, but especially useful for lower-level students and English Language Learners. (Click here for more information about other Math Packets)
Thanks!
