Creative Critters Geometry Project

Every year I complete a Geometry Project on Surface Area and Volume. It is by far the students' favorite project of the year, and you will see why! I will be uploading my past projects (see below) from students shortly so hang tight! I love to see students' creativity come alive through this project!

Pi Day Border Bundle
