This UNIT includes 4 Lessons, each divided into separate sections. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Each student will define, describe, identify, geometric figures. Also, They will connect the geometric shapes to their everyday life through looking at the architecture around their world and their community They will use that information to create a 5- 7 slide power point presentation to create their dream home or room by using Microsoft software My little blue printer or smart draw to create their dream home/room. <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">In each lesson, teacher will present a visual, a written activity, and a <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">hand-on activities to be familiar and master the subject. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Students will visit upon district approval, an architecture firm to talk one-to-one with an architect or designer. To learn about the elements require to start designing a home or a simple room, and other useful subjects/topic required to learn the skill, such as using art, math, and technology. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">This unit is a work in progress.
