While setting up for the fourth graders, a few early students saw a preview of my lesson. After seeing the terms "parallel, perpendicular, acute, obtuse and right angles" they excitedly told me "Hey! this is what we're learning about!"
The fourth graders are working on lines and angles in math, which is a perfect segue into map making. In their groups, the fourth graders worked together to create the map/base for their 3D Community Project. I gave them a yardstick, a T-Square, a list of required types of angles/ lines and asked them to take turns drawing their streets. They were also excited to learn that each street is going to be named after a member of the group. They did an awesome job taking turns drawing streets and finishing/fleshing out their designs from before Spring Break. Next, they will being to build their structures!
