This was a great resource to use with my students! It was a great project to celebrate the Mardi Gras season!
This project fit right in with our math standards during the week of Mardi Gras. We had a great time learning about Mardi Gras and this was just the thing to make it even better. I loved it and the students loved it. Math, Mardi Gras, Creativity, and Fun all at once. Thanks so much!
I love to incorporate math projects and this one is great! Thanks!

Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS3.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.
CCSS4.G.A.1
Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
CCSS4.G.A.2
Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
