Updated: Short Lesson...

Some kids are done... What do I do?...  I need a quick sub plan... I'm sick as a dog today... Here's an idea.


I was inspired by this Flickr find.




Here is a great site for grid paper.  Who knew this was even out there?  How cool!  (click here)

I will update this post after giving this a try for my self.




UPDATE!!!:


I'm so glad that the creator of this lesson found me.  Maureen wrote me and had a couple of suggestions about presenting this lesson.  
  • make single blocks to start with 'til the pupils get the hand of it

  • always start with a top surface-have some cubes and cuboids around for them to observe

  • get them to self check their drawings by looking for Vertical and diagonal lines only, (no horizontal)

  • remind them that diagonal lines bust always pass through a dot, to make them the correct angle.now blogging at www.mrscrosbie.blogspot.com

  21. I am always looking for new things to keep students entertained when they yell out I'M DONE! I have found color sudoku puzzles. I haven't tried it yet though. I found it on Pinterest. I need to cut small squares of construction paper. The goal is just like regular sudoku but you cannot repeat the color.
