Overall Expectations	1	2	3	4

• identify and construct nets of prisms and pyramids;
• identify and describe the location of an object, using the cardinal irections, and translate two-dimensional shapes.
Specific Expectations
Geometric Properties
– distinguish among polygons, regular polygons, and other two-dimensional shapes;
– distinguish among prisms, right prisms, pyramids, and other three-dimensional figures;
– identify and classify acute, right, obtuse, and straight angles;
– measure and construct angles up to 90º, using a protractor;
– identify triangles (i.e., acute, right, obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral), and classify them according to angle and side properties;
– construct triangles, using a variety of tools (e.g., protractor, compass, dynamic geometry software), given acute or right angles and side measurements (Sample problem: Use a protractor, ruler, and pencil to construct a scalene triangle with a 30° angle and a side measuring 12 cm.).
Geometric Relationships
– identify prisms and pyramids from their nets;
– construct nets of prisms and pyramids, using a variety of tools (e.g., grid paper, isometric dot paper, Polydrons, computer application).
Location and Movement
– locate an object using the cardinal directions (i.e., north, south, east, west) and a coordinate system (e.g., “If I walk 5 steps north and 3 steps east, I will arrive at the apple tree.”);
– compare grid systems commonly used on maps (i.e., the use of numbers and letters to identify an area; the use of a coordinate system based on the cardinal directions to describe a specific location);
– identify, perform, and describe translations, using a variety of tools (e.g., geoboard, dot paper, computer program);
– create and analyse designs by translating and/or reflecting a shape, or shapes, using a variety of tools (e.g., geoboard, grid paper, computer program) (Sample problem: Identify translations and/or reflections that map congruent shapes onto each other in a given design.).
