✨ Geometry curriculum formally begins in fifth grade, and evolves with the growing child through 8th grade (and beyond!)

Fifth grade marks the transition from form drawing to geometry- it is the 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴! The goal of grade five “freehand geometry” is to lock the archetypal geometric forms into the body by drawing them without the use of tools, and to find geometric forms in the world outside of their classrooms.

In sixth grade, the focus is on the physical 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 aspect of learning. Learning to use tools to construct and measure is a physical task and it challenges the students as they begin to develop new physical bodies. The students work with foundational forms and vocabulary so that their skills may deepen and evolve in the later grades.

In seventh grade, the 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 life takes center stage as we use geometry to understand the human body and the natural world we live in. The curriculum is woven into the studies of nature performed by the likes of Plato, Pythagoras, Eratosthenes, Fibonacci, and Leonardo Da Vinci are mirrored by the observational powers of the seventh grader (they see everything, yes?).

In grade eight, the geometry curriculum enters the 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 realm. Armed with knowledge about how to use the tools of the geometer, the students can now venture into the world of abstract thought and theory. They will grapple with how to measure and study the three dimensional world on the two dimensional surface of the paper.
