Description
Geometry is all about shapes and their properties and characteristics. Art also has many of its foundational skills rooted in shapes! So how cool to join these two into a fun way to learn, remember and use geometry.
Students will be encouraged to tap into their creative worlds and construct a mobile of their own chosen theme. Hang out with these cool worlds. From family groups, foods, types of animals, flying objects, etc. the possibilities are endless. These final products are a wonderful way to decorate your classroom or to showcase your student's abilities while learning and reinforcing the terms and properties of shapes such as edges, faces and vertices. Reviewing volume, area, and surface area are also addressed with a worksheet for the students to complete. A rubric is provided to highlight ways that you may elect to evaluate the work your students have completed.
Nets are two dimensional templates used to fold and create 3-D shapes. In this 21 page package, I am including templates for a cube, a square pyramid, a triangular prism, a rectangular prism, and a tetrahedron.
PHOTOS will demonstrate how to construct the mobile with possible suggestions on images. A checklist is provided to the students to allow them some independence in this project. A template picture will show what image should be visible on each face. A cereal box will be used to show students that nets are indeed something seen everyday in their own lives. Sit back and watch them go!
Common core standards dealing with surface area, volume and area are also listed for your convenience.

My kids loved thinking and putting these together.
I always loved how creative the students got when give a wee bit of structure! Glad you were able to use and enjoy too.
The students loved this. Thank you!
I simply love to hear this. Made my day!
Thank you!
You are welcome! And I appreciate your comments and trying this activity with your students. I often made a great bulletin board display in our hallway to highlight some of the great creations.

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS4.MD.A.2
Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
CCSS4.MD.A.3
Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor.
CCSS5.MD.C.3
Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
