treestarfae Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Any books or actual shapes I can buy to reference the shapes easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 5th grade shapes? Like geometry? Or...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Like octagon, pentagon, rhombus and such? Perhaps have the DC research and make a poster of them? Learning the Latin and Greek roots for those words was what helped my kids remember them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treestarfae Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yes, geometry, sorry. It's trouble with remembering them visually. Probably due to dyslexia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I know next to nothing about dyslexia, but just learning to count to ten in Latin could be useful. Unus duo tres (trays) quattuor (qwattwor) quinque (kwinkway) sex septum octo novem (no-wem) decem (de-kem) Greek is ena, dio, trio, tessera, pente, exi, epta, octo, ennea, deka, though I think pente and deka were the only ones DD used this year (Horizons 5). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You can print from link on thicker paper and cut out http://www.fun-stuff-to-do.com/geometric-shapes-worksheets.html Or you can print and let your child use as a reference chart for a while. For what it's worth, my youngest took a year to fully remember the names and still get one or two mixed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
