Adult Goal 12: Learners will develop and use spatial sense and measurement.

OBJECTIVES EXAMPLES
Objective A: Learners will describe, model, draw, and classify shapes and recognize them in the environment.
  • Straight line
  • Angles
  • Triangles
  • Quadrilaterals: including parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, square
  • Polygons, both regular and irregular
  • Circles
  • Solid figures including spheres and cones
Objective B: Learners will investigate and predict the results of combining, subdividing, and changing shapes.
  • Combine two squares, rectangle and square, two rectangles.
  • Subdivide square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram into two triangles.
  • Subdivide irregular polygons into rectangles, and/or triangles.
  • Regular polygons in circles.
Objective C: Learners will explore geometric relationships.
  • Compare and contrast characteristics of geometric shapes.
  • Explore relationships between geometric formula, e.g., areas of rectangle, parallelogram, triangle, etc.
Objective D: Learners will understand and identify the attributes of measurement.
  • Length, width, depth, height (altitude), base
  • Perimeter, area, volume
  • Capacity, weight
  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Angle
