A Different Point of View

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This A Different Point of View lesson plan also includes:
  • Activity
  • Project
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

Elementary schoolers utilize a pattern worksheet embedded in this plan to work on a deeper understanding of geometric concepts like symmetry and congruency. Since geometry is such a visual form of mathematics, this lesson should fit right into any unit on geometry. As an extension, pupils can choose an object to draw from a top-down point of view. Use this along with the Cyberchase episode "The Guilty Party."
