Description
Bring math to life with this 7th Grade Stained Glass Project that allows students to apply their knowledge of geometry in a creative, hands-on way!
In this project, students take on the role of junior designers tasked with creating stained-glass windows for a community center. They’ll use the Triangle Sum Theorem, angle relationships, similar figures, and scale drawings to design their own blueprint, then turn it into a vibrant stained-glass display.
✨ Skills Covered:
- Applying the Triangle Sum Theorem
- Identifying and calculating angle relationships (complementary, supplementary, vertical, adjacent)
- Working with scale factor and similar figures
- Calculating the area of geometric shapes
- Using rulers, protractors, and neat design tools
What’s Included:
- Student project instructions (GRASPS format)
- Success criteria checklist
- Rubric (20 points → 100-point conversion chart)
- Math explanation worksheet requirements
- Clear expectations for creativity, neatness, and math accuracy
✅ Why Teachers Love It:
- Combines math content with artistic creativity
- Encourages critical thinking and real-world application
- Perfect for a unit assessment, project-based learning, or enrichment activity
- Engages students who may not always connect with traditional math worksheets
By the end, students will not only have practiced essential math skills but also created a colorful piece of work they’ll be proud to display!
