OH NO! Ms. Brown, a fourth grade teacher, is sick! She is going to be gone the whole week her class is learning about geometry, and her substitute doesn’t know what to do. How are her students going to learn about shapes, angles, area, perimeter, and transformations.? How are her students going to pass the CRCT?

TaskSince we are geometry experts, I think we can help out Ms. Brown’s class. In

this Webquest you’re going to be a teacher for Ms. Brown’s class. You are

going to research more information about geometry topics and come up with ways to tell Ms. Brown’s class

about the important geometric figures, angles, and transformations so they will

be ready for the CRCT!

Process Part 11. First, you will be assigned one partner to work with in order to come up with

ways to teach Ms. Brown’s class.2. You and your partner will pick one role to complete in order to help teach

Ms. Brown’s Class from the list of roles below.Roles:• Polygon Professors: You are responsible for explaining and describing the

different types of polygons, and how they are similar and different. You will also research information about the different types of quadrilaterals.

• Angle Analysis: You are responsible for explaining the different types of angles, and how they are similar and different. You will be able to learn about more than just right, obtuse, and acute angles.

• Transformation Teacher: You are responsible for explaining the three different types of transformations. You will research any other transformations there are.
