Difficulty
3rd Grade
students will create a geometry city - using parralel, perpendicular, intersecting, vertical and horizontal lines / and 3 types of angles obtuse, acute, and right - create a checklist students can refer to - students are second language learners create 3 versions differentiated - this is combining map unit in UOI and math with geometry shapes, lines and angles - student will have access to 3-d images of buildings etc to add to their city
This project guide invites students to embark on a creative journey of city planning by designing their own city maps using geometric concepts. Students will engage in a step-by-step process starting from the planning phase, where they conceptualize their city design, through to drawing lines to create roads, and adding various buildings and places. They will utilize specific geometric vocabulary such as parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and various types of angles (right, acute, obtuse) to fulfill the project requirements. Different differentiated checklists are provided to cater to varying levels of understanding, ensuring that all students can actively participate and achieve their learning targets in geometry.
