Description

This Thanksgiving geometry activity is perfect for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math. In this differentiated craftivity students will create a geometry turkey by applying their knowledge of quadrilaterals. Students will review the properties of squares, rectangles, rhombuses, trapezoids and parallelograms.

THE CHALLENGE:

Students will draw as many quadrilaterals as they can inside the turkey template. A grid is provided inside the turkey for students to easily draw their shapes.

Students can reference their cheat sheet during the challenge which provides quadrilateral visuals and definitions.

The student with the most quadrilaterals drawn inside their turkey wins!

*You can choose to use this product as a CHALLENGE or ACTIVITY. There are two separate products. Use the CHALLENGE product if you want your students to compete for extra motivation. Use the ACTIVITY product if you don’t want your students to compete.*

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
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.
Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
