Description

“Our class has been working on 2D and 3D shapes all year and now we can finally do something with the knowledge, build. My students love looking at the picture and then trying to build it out of blocks. Some students ask to do it during our indoor recess time.” – Ashleigh H.

“I love these! my students are always challenging themselves to build a different landmark and amazing discussions are always sparked when they see a landmark that they know and even that they don’t.” – Heather L.

“My students used the STEM resource cards during social centers and STEM time. It was great to hear them use and learn new vocabulary words while naming their structures.” – Maricela Langeller

“This is an amazing resource! My grade 4/5s loved it in the library learning commons ! The whole school loved seeing the finished landmarks and the additional information they provided on each landmark. Will use again and again.” – Sylvia H.

“Students loved using these cards in construction time. Lead to great investigations learning about other places as well as Maths! Great resource.” – Vicki G.

“This was a great activity for helping students better understand the attributes of shapes while connecting it to landmarks. Supports creativity and critical thinking!” – Notoriously Nerdy in Second
