This project based learning resource is an engaging Geometry based Math mini project revolving around designing a Gnome village or town using isometric paper and is a great back to school or end of term activity. The project lasts up to 5 lessons plus there are additional problem solving worksheets that could fill 2 more lessons. Includes fun geometric tasks, bursting with mathematical concepts and math skills such as isometric drawings, 3D shapes, elevation drawings and plans. It also offers opportunities to be creative and to develop number problem solving strategies.
I’m certain you and your students will enjoy Gnome Homes. My students always love it and still talk about it years later!
The aim of the task is to create all the 15 different shapes out of 4 Multilink cubes and then design a Gnomes village using these shapes as buildings. The village/town must be decorated in a theme and as this can be set as a competition within the class or year group, the student with the most creative Gnome Homes, wins.
Not only must students design their village, they must also work out the costs involved with each building relating to the ground rent, paint for the walls and tiles for the roofs.
There are activities and problem solving questions based on the task, that are available for students who need extension work.
Finished products can be laminated for a super wall display.
Can be set as a class or year group competition and entries displayed.

**Here’s what others say **
“Students completed this at the end of the year and loved it. The directions were really clear and I love the built in differentiation. One of their favorite activities of the year!”
“My students’ creativity really came through with this activity. I had gnome villages with everything from carnivals to an IKEA store. The real-world connection of costs of building was great.”
“This was a super fun project for my enriched students. They were engaged and practicing without even realizing they were.”
“Amazing resource!”
Please use this mat as a revision game to play in groups in the classroom. This should be printed on A3 paper and laminated so that it can be re-used. This means that students can write their initials on their square instead of using counters. The way the game is played can be manipulated. However, the main instructions are as follows (also included on sheet):
Roll Two Die to Create a Co-ordinate. Place your coloured counter on the square that the roll corresponds to. If answer is correct, receive points as follows:
Points: Red squares are worth 1, Yellow squares score 2 points, and Green squares score 5 points
Grades: Red squares are 4/5 Grade, Yellow squares and 6/7 Grade and Green Squares and 8/9 Grade answers
Please use a great revision resource for group work. Please also leave any feedback for future revision mats and how to improve them.
