This book is meant to be a cumulative review of all 4th grade geometry standards. It is a perfect test prep activity or end of the year project to keep your students busy and learning! You can copy as many or as little pages as you would like (or even opt to do a few pages at a time after each standard has been taught). The standard is on each page and can be found in the lower right hand corner. I have included a blank page if you prefer to add any additional words to your students’ books.
Each page has space for students to write a mathematical definition/description for each geometric term. The page also provides a spot for students to include a picture of the term. A fun way to complete this part is to have students look through old magazines or newspapers. I also set out toothpicks and glue for students to use if they can’t find a picture to use. Students could also draw a picture if you are short on supplies. A great extension would be to have students have more than one picture on their page. I highly encourage creativity. You will be surprised at what your students come up with!
Since many of these terms will focus on a specific part of the picture, I have included a page of arrows for your students to cut out and use as a way to point to what they are trying to show. If you feel like adding a bigger writing component, students can also describe more about the picture they chose in words. This is fun done as a school scavenger hunt too! I hope you find this an exciting learning experience for your students and I hope every child is able to make the connection that our world is filled with geometry!

Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles.
Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
