Block Magic and Block Magic, Too!
Students are shown how to make fast, fun pictorial blocks using only easy rotary-cut square and rectangles. They do not use any paper piecing or applique' required. Students review "How to Read the Charts". Then the teacher...
Curated OER
Painter's Area
Students demonstrate geometric relationships of finding area of rectangles and squares. They apply determine the quantity of paint needed to cover the area by using the concept of quantity.
Curated OER
Printmaking Design
First graders view examples of different print making designs. Using their paper, they fold it into eight rectangles and place the same shape on each rectangle. They must have a different color for each retangle and develop a pattern of...
