Overview: In this fast-paced course, students will be introduced to topics such as informal knowledge about points, lines, planes and a variety of two- and three-dimensional shapes. Students also gain experience in visualizing and drawing lines, angles, triangles and other polygons. Along with the 16 lessons, teachers will be provided with pre- and post-tests and an activity packet to reinforce each lesson.
