This is a project I've used with my 6th graders for a long time. The students are expected to construct a pyramid. Since this project has to be done at home, I usually give the students a month to complete it.
This digital file includes:
*A cover sheet going over basic rules and due date for the project.
*Requirements for the inside and outside of the pyramid
*A rubric for assessing the pyramid projects
*Sample pictures of student-created pyramids
*A parent letter explaining the project
Directions, rubric, parent letter, and sample pictures are available as separate downloads.

I have been a teacher for eleven years. I taught 5th grade for six years, and I have been teaching 6th grade reading and social studies for the last six years.
