Description

Get kids excited about math and science with this fun hands-on collaborative project. Typically done during a Family Math Night event, this project can also be done in the classroom. The best part is, each person is individually represented in the final product!

Participants will use round coffee filters to design a snowflake that will be used to create a snowflake quilt. They will learn about the attributes of hexagons and different lines of symmetry. They'll also learn how snowflakes are created in nature.

Included in the lesson plan

• list of materials needed

• mathematical background

• scientific background of snowflakes

• mathematical and scientific vocabulary

• table tent with step-by-step directions

• extension activities for older students

• link to the video version of the lesson

CCSS4.MD.C.5

Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:

CCSS4.MD.C.5a

An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.

CCSS4.MD.C.5b

An angle that turns through 𝘯 one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of 𝘯 degrees.

CCSS4.MD.C.6

Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.

CCSS4.MD.C.7

Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure.
