Quilt Squares with Right Triangles

All Freebies

One summer I developed a series of art projects where my students could practice using their geometry vocabulary.  They also needed to practice measuring with a ruler for some of the activities.  I find hands-on practice with art helps teach students math concepts.

To create the class quilt shown above, I gave each student two purple and two teal 3′”X 3″ squares.  I showed them how to fold corner to corner to create the right triangles.  I then challenged them to create a 6″X 6″ square in as many designs as possible.  (There are some duplicates in the quilt shown above.)  

We glued the designs on a 6″X 6″ construction paper square.  We displayed them in the classroom with other classroom quilts.
