This all inclusive lesson plan pacs a big hit and students will love the student centered exploratory component of this hands on learning! Students will interact with content at four different stations in which they will build, cut, create, and identify polygons, angles, triangles, and three dimensional shapes. You will need some supplies to make this as effective as possible including scissors, glue, straws (pipe cleaners, toothpicks, or cut popsicles sticks will do), as well as construction paper (or colored paper).
The lesson plan comes with clear instructions for teachers, station labels, and a student pack with 4 different worksheets to be complete at each station. An answer key is also included for your convenience. Let me know if you have any questions and best of luck!
