What educators are saying

This was such a fun project for my third graders. I appreciate the progression of skills throughout the project. Students were engaged and excited to interact with the materials. Thanks so much!
Great activity to challenge my math enrichment group. Will be purchasing more units in the near future.

Description

This 5-day project-based math resource applies math concepts in a real-world scenario to teach students about concepts of geometry, including quadrilaterals, parallel sides, and equal angles. In this 5-day unit, students will learn about the attributes of shapes and then use that understanding to design a floor plan for their school. This math project is engaging and authentic. Plus, it's available as both a digital and print resource.

This project-based math resource is aligned with the following 3rd Grade Math Common Core State Standard:

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.G.A.1
    Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

This resource is available in both Printable & Digital Google Slides versions.

What's included in this resource:

•Background Knowledge: Students will review their environment to look for shapes that exist in the real world.

•Shape Review: Students will categorize the shapes that they've identified and begin sorting shapes they're familiar with.

•Quadrilaterals: Students will learn about the various attributes of quadrilaterals: parallel sides, intersecting sides, and perpendicular sides. Students will apply that knowledge to designing a floor plan for their school.

•Understanding Quadrilaterals: Students will complete practice problems to demonstrate their understanding of the various attributes of quadrilaterals.

•2D School Model: Students will design a 2D model of the entryway to their school building following guidelines given by their architect. The students will add a few finishing touches and present their entryway with shapes identified.

•Wrap Up: Students will complete a short review of their work.
