4.1 Turn what’s left of the sheet of paper over. Put the tangram together again to form the original square without looking at the second tangram. Now turn the paper over again and see if you did it correctly.

4.2 Now use the shapes to make:

  1. a boat,
  2. a human figure,
  3. a dog,
  4. other things.

4.3 Show your friends what you have made and discuss what you and they have made.

4.4 Paste your best one on paper and use it to decorate the classroom.

TANGRAMS FOR CUTTING OUT

5. Study the triangles in the table.

  • Fill in the number of sides and angles (corners) in each triangle.
  • Encircle the correct statement about the sides and the angles(corners) of each triangle. (Later you will learn to measure the corners; just now decide by just looking at them.)

5.3 Use the squared paper on the rest of this page to make as many triangles with different shapes as you can.

6. You know a square and a rectangle. Here are some more QUADRILATERALS: You do NOT need to know their names.

6.1 Use the squared paper on the rest of the page to draw as many different quadrilaterals as you can. Begin with a square and a rectangle.

6.2 Compare their sides and angles and encircle the correct statements.

6.3 Discuss with your friends:

a) Is a square a special rectangle?

b) Is a square a parallelogram?

c) Is a rectangle a parallelogram?

d) What is a quadrilateral?

8. Why is a circle not a polygon?

9. What is the geometrical name for these objects:

9.1

9.2

9.3 a golf ball

10 How many faces (surfaces) has a cube of sugar?

11. Describe in one word the surface of a sphere.

12. Choose the correct word and underline it: The surface of the sun is curved / flat.

13. How many surfaces has a tetrahedron (3-sided pyramid)?

Assessment

LO 3
space and shape (geometry)The learner will be able to describe and represent characteristics and relationships between two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in a variety of orientations and positions.
We know this when the learner:
3.1 recognises, visualises and names two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in the environment including:
  • rectangular prisms, spheres, cylinders, and other objects;
  • prisms and pyramids;
  • circles and rectangles;
  • polygons in terms of the number of sides up to 8-sided figures;
3.2 describes, sorts and compares two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects from the environment according to geometrical properties including:
  • shapes of faces;
  • number of sides;
  • flat and curved surfaces, straight and curved sides;

Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
