Identifying the Level of Knowledge of Geometry Teachers
INTRODUCTION

This project paper is group work to be performed in the semester four in our study and involving at least three members in a group. The objective of this project is to identify the level of knowledge of teachers engaged on the topic shapes and geometric. In addition, the purpose of this project is to find the errors and misconceptions made by teachers when answering test questions given. Name of the members of this group are Masliza bt Mohamad Razali, Hasnita bt Abdul Halim and Azley bin Hj Salleh. First is as known, shapes is the form of an object - how it is laid out in space (not what it is made of, or where it is). Shapes in the form of mathematical topics consist of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional. Two dimensions shape is a shape that only has two dimensions (such as width and height) and no thickness. Two dimensions shape, including square, rectangle, circle, and also triangle. Three dimensions shape have length, width, and depth (or height). Three dimension shapes is shape like a cube, cuboid, cylinder, pyramid, cone and sphere. The topics shapes and space has begun to be taught by a teacher in primary school. While the geometry mean the area of mathematics that deals with points, lines, shapes and space. Geometry divided into two types such as plane geometry and solid geometry. Plane Geometry is about flat shapes like lines, circles and triangles. shapes that can be drawn on a flat surface called a Plane (it is like on an endless piece of paper). Solid Geometry is about solid (3-dimensional) shapes like spheres and cubes. Geometry topics taught in high school or secondary students.

DISCUSSION

Instrument or test paper have been answered by all group members within 45 minutes and involves four questions. All questions are involved Shapes and Geometry topic and require the calculation. After completing the answer, we asked to change the paper and check the answers together.Based on the test results, it was found Masliza

    Mathematics Objectives 1. Solve problems involving linear functions. 2. Develop algebraic expressions based on word problems, including those that require the use of parentheses, and evaluate the algebraic expression. 3. Recognize and create equivalent algebraic expressions (e.g., 2(a+3) = 2a+6). 4. Solve systems of linear equations and inequalities (i.e., equations with no quadratic or higher terms) in two or three variables both graphically and algebraically. 5. Apply algebraic techniques to solve a variety of problems (e.g., rate problems, work problems, geometrical problems). 6.

    The geometry manipulative activity that I have come up with is one that will be rather informative and intriguing at the same time. The concept of the game will be for children to become familiar with all of the geometry shapes there are so that when future assignments are given they will be able to identify the shape and be successful in their learning.…

    Geometry and spatial relations- Target child is emerging in this skill set. Z shows understanding and uses several positioning words. Some examples of Z using these ideas are when Z knows where to sand if he is asked to stand in the back of the line. Z also likes to organize and position the dollhouse furniture in a functioning way. Z is also beginning to recognize and describe the attributes of shapes. Z recognizes triangles and knows a triangle requires 3 sides in order to be a triangle. Z also can find shapes or triangles all the exact same size. I know this because I observed him work on worksheet all about triangles. Z does not compose and decompose shapes. I have not observed Z practicing or referencing to 3-d shapes, so I do not believe…

    First students will learn that 2-dimensional objects are flat and only deal with length and width; whereas 3-dimensional deal with length, width, and height, with height giving them the 3-dimensional aspect. The best way to have students understand each concept is to show the students what a deconstructed 3-dimensional cube looks like (2-dimensional) and then shape that into the 3-dimensional form. This would be a great way to incorporate a learning…
