Get your students excited about maths with this Christmas Coordinates 3D House Craft Activity - Printable for KS2 & 3: Your students will love this! A fun and engaging activity plotting coordinates on a coordinate plane to create a net of a 3D house.
This printable download combines maths with 3D paper craft. Easy prep, print-and-go activity. Teacher instructions and step-by-step student instructions are included as well as answer keys for students to self-check work promoting independence.
I have also included teacher demonstration models for decoration ideas to save you time although I don’t tell my students what they are making until they have plotted the net to add to the excitement!
Ideas
- Christmas activity to make a gingerbread house,
- Halloween activity to make a haunted house,
- Easter activity to make Easter Bunny’s cottage,
- Link to history topics to make a house from a specific period.
This engaging activity is differentiated:
- * Single Quadrant including translation,
- ** Single quadrant including reflection about a line and translation
- *** 4-quadrant including reflection about line and translation.
Printing: Each student needs:
- 2 instruction pages (paper)
- 1 coordinate plane (card)
I have also included 4 nets for you to use as demonstration models without the need to plot the points yourself - time saving!
These demonstration designs are:
- Easter Bunny Cottage
- Haunted Halloween House
- Christmas Gingerbread Cottage
- Blank - you could decorate it to match your theme.
Usage Suggestions:
- Coordinate Lesson: Perfect for reinforcing coordinate lessons.
- Building Topics: Complement topics related to buildings and architecture.
- Festive Fun: Create Christmas gingerbread house activities to add a seasonal touch.
- Halloween: Create spooky haunted houses to create a Halloween scene.
- Easter: Create the Easter Bunny’s cottage and fill with chocolate eggs as a Spring Break Easter Gift.
Others Materials Needed:
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Pair of Compasses (or trace the circle template)
- Scissors
- Colouring Pens/Pencils
- Clear Plastic (ideal from a used envelope)
- Glue (suitable for paper and cardboard)
Additional Tip:
I have found that not revealing what your students will be making can add an air of excitement and anticipation which motivates students to complete the task! I have been deliberately vague about the outcome in the instructions in case you choose to do the same.
