Calling all geeks! It’s May 4th, so you’ve probably already bid your friends farewell by saying “May the fourth be with you!” I probably should celebrate (or at least acknowledge) May 4th at school. I know this next idea is a little late…hindsight is 20/20. I’ll have to do this next year. (Ta-da! Now I’m prepped a year ahead!)
I just saw this free coloring page over at Homeschool Encouragement and thought of a math connection!
Print one of these for each student. Then make up a key that might look something like this (choose your own colors if you want):
- circles = red
- trapezoids = green
- rectangles = blue
- squares = yellow
- everything else = orange
This way, you’re practicing shapes while you celebrate May the Fourth! If you’re looking to be more interactive, consider having your students create the image above with tangrams.
Here are some other Star Wars themed coloring pages for you to be creative with!
But no matter what you do, may the fourth be with you! 🙂
Check out the graphic organizer I posted over at We Are Teachers! It’s perfect for describing a series of events in a story, history or a science experiment.
