GO's
By grade4curlyQ

Clip to ScrapBook   
Go's are Graphic Organizers. I use error analysis in every subject area to teach critical thinking skills. GO's help the students organize their reasoning skills when I use error analysis.
I did find some materials in
a book called "Organized Thinking" that has the children categorize geometric figures according to feature analysis. I'll try to post a couple of pictures of what I used. I'm still looking for line, line segment, ray, feature analysis resources though. These are the ones the children forget MOST often..........they get them confused.
One of my students was asking for help on remembering
the difference between slides, turns, and flips so we took some die cut shapes and placed them (she did......with little guidance) poster paper and named them "Piggy Slide" - "Gator Turn" - "Cow Flip" then she glued them down in the correct position. It gave all of us a good visual representation to build understanding. The "cow flip" looked like he'd gone mad so we nicknamed him Mad Cow Disease. LOL
THANKS!:p
