Students are introduced to the basic figures in geometry such as points, lines, rays, segments and planes. As they become comfortable with the new language, they will use it to describe various relationships between these figures.  With the study of angles, students learn to measure and classify angles and identify special angle pairs. We study polygons, with a special emphasis on triangles and quadrilaterals, then study circles and the relationships between pi, circumference, radius and diameter. Students learn the U.S. customary and metric systems of measure, using them to calculate the area and perimeter of polygons and the circumference and area of circles. The last topic we study in geometry is identifying polyhedrons, prisms, and pyramids.  Students learn how to find surface area and volume of rectangular prisms and cubes. Next, we study ratios, rates and proportions and a variety of word problems are introduced. Students study the relationships between fractions, decimals and percentages, after which they learn how to work with a set of data and discuss the topics of mean, median, mode and range. We finish the year working on understanding and performing the four basic operations with integers. Mastery of integers is important to being ready for Pre-Algebra in seventh grade.
