Your students will love this differentiated bundle as they practice designing a leprechaun house! Then you can choose your version to have students either count the size of the rooms, or calculate the area and perimeter of each room! With literacy extensions the learning will go on past math time!

K-1- Design A Leprechaun House- Counting Project

Your kindergarten and first graders will feel extra lucky this St. Patrick's Day as they design the greenprint for a leprechaun house.

This is like a basic counting application of area for young learners! With fun literacy extensions, your students will keep learning with this St. Patrick's Day Math project!

Students design a house on "graph" paper and must determine the area and perimeter of each room.

Includes:

*Student directions

*2 samples/models(one simple & one advanced) for the area & perimeter activity & recording sheet (These samples can also be used with blank recording sheets for students to practice calculating before they begin working!)

*Rubric

*3 "box" sizes on "greenprint" page for differentiation

*Recording sheet

*3 ideas for extension activities (materials enclosed)

-Use a partner's paper to solve for area and perimeter

-A letter to a leprechaun
