Grade Level 4 & Up
Develop an understanding of geometric figures and relationships. Use learning
tools and lessons to identify, describe, classify, compare and work with geometric
figures. Includes:
The following table
is an outline of the interactive multimedia assignments in our intermediate
geometry programs -- Reporting and Web programs.
The outline is organized by units. Each unit may also include a Pre-
and Post-Test, depending on the program and has multiple
assignments that include lessons, practice, learning tools and enrichment
activities (Extras). Try
an Activity: Each
unit only has one sample assignment that is active – this is the assignment
in red. Trial requirements.
