Description
Your students will love working with 3D shapes and nets to help design a new guest house. Students will explore faces, edges and vertices of their shapes.
Are you looking for the hook to get your students excited in math? Students love thinking about what their teacher's lives are like outside of school. This is how the "My Teacher's Adventures in series" was started. Let your students work on mathematical projects of fun adventures/ stories about possible scenarios that you as a teacher may have!
This mini math project covers a range of topics. It has been designed for students in grades 3 to 6, but could be ideal to engage middles school students that need revision. The project is designed to run between 2-3 lessons depending on how much time you wish to allocate to the tasks.
The projects are easy to follow and can either be teacher run or student driven.
Design a Guest House: Students will come up with a range of designs using 3D shapes to make a unique and interesting guest house. This will be a place that their teacher can use to have family/ guests stay or possibly rent out.
