Planning Fifth Grade Freehand Geometry

Note in the video there are a couple of mistakes: When two dots are placed on the circle and connected, it forms a line, not a circle. Also I use pentagram and pentagon interchangeably in the video. It should be pentagon. A pentagram is the 5-pointed star that is formed within the pentagon.

References for Waldorf Geometry
I usually use Jamie York’s Making Math Meaningful as my sourcebook for geometry in middle school, but he doesn’t have much on free-hand geometry other than a quick mention that it should be done. I’ve found the following books to be immensely helpful and inspirational. The first is spot on for this age, and the second is a little advanced, and I’ve only used it for inspiration. Both of these books are free as a pdf download on the Online Waldorf Library.
