Demonstrate how to make cones, rectangular prisms, cylinders, and cubes from the photocopied patterns. Have students practice making their own. Discuss with the class that they will be acting as architects and that it is very important for architects to have a plan. Give students enough time to come up with a plan for their model dream homes. They must incorporate at least three, 3-dimensional shapes.
Creativity is a positive thing.
Mount their creations on tag board, and display them for all to enjoy.
