The relevance of
Geometry is evident everywhere you turn. Buildings, street signs, and bridges all have elements of geometry within them. Children whom are able to secure the foundations of Geometry can create a strong connection to mathematics and its relevance to the world around them!

New York State Standards

Multiple New York e Standards performance indicators apply to this game:

K.G.1: Describe characteristics and relationships of geometric objects
K.G.2: Sort groups of objects by size and size order (increasing and decreasing)
K.G.5: Understand and use ideas such as over, under, above, below, on, beside, next to, and between.

1.) The perimeter of a square is 20 inches. How long is each side? Explain how you determined the length of each side.
2.) Caleb is putting a fence around a rectangular garden. His garden is 12 ft. long and 6 ft. wide. How many feet of fence does Caleb need to enclose his garden?

The New York State Math Tests are only around the corner! Here are some sample questions you can expect to see on the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade math tests

Why is Geometry so
Important for Children to Learn??
Geometry is important to understand at an early age because it will help children create groundwork to recognize more ways to approach formal problem solving. When children are able to use geometry, they are able to develop logical and analytical thinking.
