About This Product

Geometry Project | Build a Snowman is a great resource to have students use geometry during a fun activity!

Let your students learn while having fun with this geometry project: Build a Snowman.

This activity can be adapted to different levels of difficulty;

Your students will learn to draw triangles and hexagons in order to build the snowman. Or if you prefer they can use the included template.

The benefit of project-based learning is that it prepares students for the future. They can decide what to use to build their snowman with the information provided.

By adopting project-based learning, students learn to manage and solve problems, think outside the box, and work together.

This is a resource which can be used individually, in pairs, or during group work. Additionally, it can be used as a formative assessment, an exit ticket, a competition among groups of students, or simply for fun!

The skills needed to complete this activity successfully are:

• Draw and identify different types of quadrilaterals and triangles:

• Geometry and spatial sense offer a way to understand the world around us.

• Object can be described using geometrical attributes.

• Calculate area and perimeter of quadrilaterals, triangles and composite figures.

This resource is ready-to-print and use! Very little prep is required for you to start having fun this winter with your students!

Other math-related resources can be found in my store here.
