OH NO! Ms. Brown, a fourth grade teacher,
is sick! She is going to be gone the whole
week her class is learning about geometry,
and her substitute doesn’t know what to do.
How are her students going to learn about
shapes, angles, area, perimeter, and
transformations.? How are her students
going to pass the CRCT?

Conclusion
Since we are geometry experts, I think
we can help out Ms. Brown’s class. In
this Webquest you’re going to be a
teacher for Ms. Brown’s class. You are
going to research more information
about geometry topics and come up
with ways to tell Ms. Brown’s class
about the important geometric figures,
angles, and transformations so they will
be ready for the CRCT!
Process Part 1
Introduction
Task
Process
1. First, you will be assigned one partner to work with in order to come up with
ways to teach Ms. Brown’s class.
2. You and your partner will pick one role to complete in order to help teach
Ms. Brown’s Class from the list of roles below.
Roles:
•
Polygon Professors: You are responsible for explaining and describing the
different types of polygons, and how they are similar and different. You will
also research information about the different types of quadrilaterals.
•
Evaluation
Angle Analysis: You are responsible for explaining the different types of
angles, and how they are similar and different. You will be able to learn
about more than just right, obtuse, and acute angles.
•
Conclusion
Transformation Teacher: You are responsible for explaining the three
different types of transformations. You will research any other
transformations there are.

Conclusion
WOW!
You all really are experts! You did a great job
helping Ms. Brown’s class! You were really able to
help her class while she was away. They were
able to learn everything about geometry for the
CRCT. Not only did you help her class, but you
also were able to gain a better understanding
about geometry. 
