GnT Creating a Miniature Golf Course

Created by

Brayton's Store

This is a Miniature Golf unit I taught to a group of 4th graders for our Gifted and Talented program. Please note that other materials will be needed to coincide with this PowerPoint. Most of the materials are everyday things you could find in your classroom. This unit includes 28 slides to teach kids about angles, pentominos, design, cooperation, and most importantly fun building their own golf hole. Thanks for downloading and enjoy!
