Robot Geometry Project
Assigned: ________Jan 8th, 2013______
Due: ______Jan. 25th, 2013____________
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 January 25, 2013.
Grade Expectation
E
1. Robot must have ALL of
the shapes listed here.
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)
M
Everything in the “E” expectation…
except:
* 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.
P
Robot is turned in and has most of
the geometric solid figures and plane
shapes listed for an “E” labeled.
A paragraph was not included.
Most of the shapes are included.
B
Robot is turned in and has some of
the geometric solid figures and plane
shapes listed for an “E”
labeled. A robot is not turned in.
Some of the shapes are included.
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.
