Indigenous Peoples' Day Math Activity & Craft - 3rd 4th 5th Grade Geometry

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day geometry activity is perfect for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math. In this differentiated craft students will decorate a teepee by applying their knowledge of quadrilaterals. Students will review the properties of squares, rectangles, rhombuses, trapezoids and parallelograms.

THE CHALLENGE:

Students will draw as many quadrilaterals as they can inside the teepee template. A grid is provided inside the teepee for students to easily draw their shapes.

Students can reference their cheat sheet during the challenge which provides quadrilateral visuals and definitions.

The student with the most quadrilaterals drawn inside their teepee wins!
