Objective : Students will find, draw and label geometric shapes using points of balance.

Grade Level : 1-5

Materials : Crayons, Water Color Markers, Yard Sticks and Butcher Paper

Prerequisite : Students should have previous experience using 1 to 8 points of balance.

Set-up : Divide class into groups of 3 to 5. Give each group a yardstick, an assortment of markers and crayons, and a piece of butcher paper for each child in the group.

Lesson :
One child at a time assumes a balance using from 1 to 8 points of balance. The other children use the crayons to outline the points of balance and name them
( hands, feet, head, etc. ). After they have done this they take the yardstick and draw lines connecting the points of balance. Then label the paper as a straight line, triangle, trapezoid, I have no clue, etc.

Hang the finished products around your room to show your skills on the integration of curriculum :-)
