Memorial Day Math Activity & Craft - 3rd 4th 5th Grade Geometry Challenge

Grab this Memorial Day geometry activity for your students! It is perfect for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math. In this differentiated challenge students will apply their knowledge of quadrilaterals to decorate their dog tag. They will review the properties of squares, rectangles, rhombuses, trapezoids and parallelograms.

THE CHALLENGE:

Students will draw as many quadrilaterals as they can inside the dog tag template. A grid is provided inside the dog tag 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 dog tag wins!

*You can choose to use this product as a CHALLENGE or ACTIVITY. There are two separate products. Use the CHALLENGE product if you want your students to compete for extra motivation. Use the ACTIVITY product if you don’t want your students to compete.

DIFFERENTIATION:

• Challenge/Activity 1 - does not require the dog tag to have symmetry.
• Challenge/Activity 2 - requires the dog tag to have symmetry.
