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!

 Download the project description with mastery objective, timeline with dates to be filled in by the instructor, clear instructions for students, all worksheets needed to complete the project, and a detailed rubric for students here.

Here are some photos of sample projects. Click here for examples of student work.

Pi Day Border Bundle
