Geometric Character

Geometric Character

Students will use geometric shapes to create a character using dry-erase crayons.

Lesson Plan

Supplies Needed

Gather all the supplies needed to bring your craft ideas to life! From paints and markers to glue and scissors, our crafts section has everything to spark creativity and make every project truly special.

  • Dry Erase Board

Steps

  • Step 1

    Have students review some geometric shapes such as rectangles, triangles, quadrilaterals, cubes, hexagons, and pentagons.

  • Step 2

    Ask students to come up to the white board and design a geometric character using only geometric shapes. If they make a mistake it's easy to wipe away and try again!

  • Step 3

    Now have students switch places with classmates and identify some of the shapes used in other students' drawings.

Standards

MATH: Create models that demonstrate math concepts and attend to precision.

MATH: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

Adaptations

Ask students to write and illustrate a story about their geometric character.

Have students look for real-world examples of the shapes they identified. For example, a box or a book is a quadrilateral, a bee's honeycomb is a hexagon, etc.
