Megan & Ryan - 3rd grade Geometry Projects

Ryan and Megan recently were given projects by of their teachers both their teachers. The Third grade has been studying 3-dimensional shapes in math. The teachers wanted the kids to use their knowledge to build a 3-D model. They could create anything they wanted - but could use ONLY 3-Dimensional shapes.

They were allowed to use many different things from around the house for their models. The model could be an animal, person, machine, building, etc. The sky was the limit. Trash was treasure! Thank you to our friends and family who donated items from their homes!

There was a catch though! They had to use at least ONE of each of the required shapes - they could use it multiple times - but had to use it at least once. The required shapes were:

• Cube
• Sphere
• Rectangular prism
• Cylinder
• Cone
• Square pyramid

Each shape had to be labeled correctly, neatness counted, creativity was part of the grade, correct spelling, and the projects had to be decorated in some way.

Ryan made a "Bird Man" and Megan made a "Cat" which she named Zach.

Ryan's project is currently in a display case at the school. Both Ryan and Megan got a grade of 100 on their projects! Here they are:

The nose of "Bird Man" is a cone.

Here is "Zach the Cat"
