One of my favorite things to do each month is to make a construction paper geometric math quilt!
Students learn shape names, how the different shapes fit within each other, How rotating a shape or changing it's size can create a different geometric design.
The quilt is a way for them to read color words, follow a template to create something, as well as create 2-D shapes.
Students always begin with a 3 inch square but each month they must learn new ways to fold and cut a square into new shapes and sizes. Your students will learn how to turn a 3 inch square into all the different shapes and sizes they need to make their pattern.
It begins with a simple half fold and progresses from there. This packet contains a quilt patch pattern for each month of the school year as well as the colors, sizes, and instructions to make a monthly geometric quilt. Every student makes a decorative and a geometric quilt patch each month. For display I cut down our large quilt to keep up through the year.
Every staff member that enters the room comments on how much they love the quilts! These quilts really warm up your classroom or hallway too!

I will use this after we return from winter break. From the sounds of the reviews, I won't be disappointed. I marked "no opinion" since I haven't used the resource yet.

Hi
I was wanting to purchase your geometric quilting through the year packet. Is my credit card information going to be safe? I have never purchased anything from this site before so I just wanted to double check. Thanks!

My kindergarteners are having a great time with these quilts. Just noticed on your November quilt that the directions do not match the colors on the quilt page.

I just bought your geometric quilt unit and downloaded it but there is a problem. The pages that should be directions have no words on them. Is there anyway I can get the direction pages so I will be able to use the unit.Thanks!

Hello!
It sounds like you may need to update your adobe reader? I am just guessing...I am not sure how else to help technical issues, but the contact button on the bottom of the page is very helpful for getting help. They are pretty quick too!
I am sorry!

I just purchased you geometric quilt unit. I did not see the August materials (directions, school house). Is this available?
August 11, 2012
Reagan Tunstall (TpT Seller)
July and August are the same quilt since most people either teach in August or July. I hope that makes sense. If you teach both in July and August, let me know and I can make you another one.
