Robot Geometry Project Assigned: _________________ Due: ______________________ Create a “Geometric” Robot and label the geometric shapes to show your understanding of geometry terms and vocabulary. Your robot can be made from recycled, purchased, or hand-made figures. The rubric below shows what is expected to earn each primary grade. Please check the rubric carefully before you begin and again before you turn in your robot. This project is due _____ weeks from today. Grade Expectation 1. Robot must have ALL of the shapes listed here. E 2. Shapes must be labeled to receive an “E”. 3. Write a paragraph describing how you used each solid figure and plane shape. (This is not a story, but is a description of the figures used. Shapes Solid Shapes: Cube Rectangular prism Sphere Cylinder Cone Plane Shapes Square Rectangle Circle Parallelogram Triangle Trapezoid Have at least one line of symmetry labeled Have at least one pair of congruent shapes labeled (Same size… same shape = congruent) Everything in the “E” expectation… except: * You did not write a paragraph. * You did not have at least one line of symmetry labeled * You did not have at least one pair of congruent shapes labeled All of the shapes are included. S Robot is turned in and has most of the geometric solid figures and plane shapes listed for an “E” labeled. Most of the shapes are included. N Robot is turned in and has some of the geometric solid figures and plane shapes listed for an “E” labeled. Some of the shapes are included. U A robot is not turned in. V We hope this project will be a “family” project since we want our students “talking” about the attributes and characteristics of each shape. Explaining “why” helps children learn to come to a conclusion. Work with your child, but make sure the child is doing majority of the work. Thank you for assisting your child in applying the geometric vocabulary in a fun and educational project.
