The Classroom Performance System
I used the CPS clickers to have a
geometry review with my students.
The whole week we worked on
polygons, angles, etc. and after we
did a picture scavenger hunt of
shapes around the school, I made a
review game using this technology.

Learning Objective
 Standard 3: Students will describe and analyze attributes of
two-dimensional shapes.
 Objective 1: Describe and compare attributes of two-
dimensional shapes.
 Indicators a-d:
Identify, describe, and classify polygons (e.g., pentagons, hexagons,

octagons).
Identify attributes for classifying triangles (e.g., two equal sides for the

isosceles triangle, three equal sides for the equilateral triangle, right
angle for the right triangle).
Identify attributes for classifying quadrilaterals (e.g., parallel sides for

the parallelogram, right angles for the rectangle, equal sides and right
angles for the square).
Identify right angles in geometric figures, or in appropriate objects, and

determine whether other angles are greater or less than a right angle.

GEOMETRY
The students were actually pretty excited to learn
about geometry. We thought that it would be good to
let them experience some hands on activities while
exploring these new ideas.
 Picture Scavenger hunt
 Review for assessment

HANDS ON ACTIVITIES ARE FUN!

Reflection
 CPS clickers are a change of pace for students
 Something new to use
 No management problems

Student use of technology
 Every student had their own clicker.
 Active participation.
 Class Discussion on correct answers.

Technology use is essential
 Add-on to the real learning activity, assessment.
 Convenient
 Fun
 Motivational
 Solidifies learning

Focus on learning task
 Review geometry
 Know who was struggling with each type of
shape/angle
 Efficient

Added value
 This type of review would be harder without
technology…you have to resort to
paper/pencil…that’s no fun!
 Added value is that it is something new and that gets
the students excited about learning
 I was able to see which types of questions/the
content that was harder for the majority of students
and focus on those specifics
