geometric shapes

Geometry is all around us, we just don't think of it or call it geometry. Your clock is a geometric shape, circle. Your blackboard is a rectangle. Your desk top is rectangle. Your face is symetrical, 2 eyes, 2 ears, mouth in the middle. Your closet is rectangular. Point to hundreds of things in your classroom, several a day, that are geometric shapes. Lights, books, lunch boxes. You can teach 3 dimentional figures using the same techniques. Bring in juice cans to represent cylinders, detergent boxes for others, and cubes, etc. Does this help. And yes, I teach fifth grade and they place a big emphasis on Geometry in the curriculum too. Start early.
