      This activity could be adapted to many themes based on the interests of students in your class.  The point is that they are using geometry for real-world (or in this case, fantasy-pretend-world) applications.  Also, it could be made easier or more complex depending on the age and ability levels of your students.  For example, struggling students could just focus on one aspect, such as wands.  More advanced students could run the whole store.  It really has a lot of room for creative interpretation.

    This activity incorporates Harry Potter theme into learning about math.  The children get to pretend they work for a store on Diagon Alley, and they use their knowledge of geometry to plan a cost-effective sale plan.

      CCSS.Math.Content.3.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

      3-Dimensional component can be removed, and younger students can work with 2-Dimensional shapes instead. Students can practice identifying the attributes that make geometric shapes different from each other. ELL students could use these creations to help understand the "definition heavy" parts of Geometry (i.e. faces, vertices, sides, corners).

      As a child, I loved making origami, and I think origami lends itself naturally to studying geometry, so I love the idea of turning making origami into a math lesson. This is a really good whole-group activity because it allows everyone to follow along and be interested in what is going on.  It is especially nice for ELLs because by seeing you work on your box simultaneously through the projector, these students are not as restricted by the language barrier.
  • Mary Miller on 30 Jan 13
     
    The students use card stock to fold origami shapes and make a box, and they will then estimate the volume of the box.  They will test their hypotheses by counting how many marbles, etc. fit in the box after it is complete.  The lesson also incorporates identification of geometric shapes.

      Game is great for ELL learners because it requires no English proficiency to complete the online tasks. Students can log into the program and begin working immediately, discovering the relationships between different 2-dimensional plane shapes on their own. Activity could be extended by bringing in physical tangram sets for students to complete during down time.

Extension:  Teacher can read "If I Were A Quadrilateral" By: Molly Blaisdail Adaptations: Students can use tangrams to observe the differences between each of the parallelograms.  This gives them the opportunity to feel the shape and look at it from a 3D perspective.

    Forget a jeep in Africa. You can head out for a safari right in your own neighborhood. Instead of hunting lions and tigers, you'll troll for circles and triangles. Why? Because shapes are at the heart of the first grade math and writing curriculum. Plus, a hunt through the backyard is just plain fun! The next time your child's around the house looking for something to do, pack a picnic and head outside for this easy, fun family activity.

    What is a prime number? Check out this great way to learn. Find a deck of cards and deal them out. We hope your hand has a lot of prime numbers in it! If it does, you have a good chance of winning. If not, we wish you luck when you reach your hand over to the draw pile. Before you know it, you'll have the first several prime numbers memorized and some great skills to take with you back to math class.

Adaption:  Students who have trouble focusing and retaining information can have a key or sheet to reference that describes each of the shapes (sides, vertices, classification...etc)

      MA.6.5.7 2000 Construct a cube and rectangular box from two-dimensional patterns and use these patterns to compute the surface area of the objects. MA.6.5.1 2000 Select and apply appropriate standard units and tools to measure length, area, volume, weight, time, temperature, and the size of angles. MA.6.5.2 2000 Extension: After cubes are made, students can decorate them as they please and they will be hung from the ceiling the following day. Before the cubes are hung, the teacher can review lessons on correct units to use when measuring the volume, area, and various shapes on the planes of the cube.    Adaption: Print directions bi-lingually for ELL students and allow students to write the correct units of measure on their cubes to help them remember.

    My sixth graders enjoyed making origami shapes. In addition to the math concepts it helped with reading and following directions. We used to recycle greeting cards to make boxes as well. It can be a little harder to make the folds, but it was a good use of resources.
