Students will look at and discuss the model houses I have built with cardboard Students will identify the different geometric shapes I have used. Students will create their own model buildings using cardboard and connectors. Students will imagine and create walls and roofs using squares, rectangles and pentagons. Students will look at the connectors and discuss the variety of angles. Students will demonstrate how the acute, right, and obtuse angles make the door open different ways. Students may decorate their buildings by gluing decorations or by simply coloring the cardboard.
