After classifying and naming 3D figures by their names, faces, vertices, and edges, the fifth graders completed a “Castle Creation Challenge.” Making their castles was a creative and fun way to end their geometry unit. Students formed three teams to build Max’s Mansion, Kai’s Creation and Kylie’s Castle. The construction teams had to follow local building ordinances:
- Each castle had to include at least one of each given 3D shape.
- A minimum of ten shapes had to be used.
- No outsourcing allowed.
- Team members had to create their own 3-D shapes.
- Acceptable building materials were only paper, tape, and gluesticks.
Finally, teams were awarded points for creativity! Pencils and markers were allowed, to add color and flair to each creation. Results were terrific and teams are now available to hire for all your summer home remodel needs!
