Game cubes.

 

 

Second grade learned about three dimensional shapes and took some clay and sculpted a sphere first and then flattened each side to create a cube.  Of course they were all into creating their cube into a dice when the paints came out.  I could barely get a couple of pics of them before they just "had" to take them home 

Animal boxes.





Fourth grade had a hoot with this one.  They drew a blueprint of there box with a pencil and designed all sides of their cube.  They even wrote footnotes to help with their construction of the box.  It is nice to have a little writing component every once in a while!  The students used the score and slip method to put thier boxes together.  Great results in the end.
