7th Grade Gifted and Talented Projects

MATH ENRICHMENT | ENRICHISSEMENT | ANGLES | GÉOMÉTRIE | CONSTELLATIONS (FRENCH)

By French Made Fun!

Pump up and motivate your strong math students with this engaging, hands-on project-based learning which will have them discovering the history of constellations, measuring constellations, working on challenging math problems and creating their own constellations.

Do you teach a math enrichment class, or do you have students in your grades 5 and 6 classrooms who are on enrichment programs? Particularly when it comes to multi-levelled classrooms, the focus tends to be on the students with academic struggles, but our strong students need opportunities to push themselves and to stay engaged.

In this document, you'll discover 32 pages of activities, projects, research and artistic activities in line with geometry and angles which will have your students keeping busy while your grade-level and below-grade level students can have you in other ways.

You'll find:

- 60 Constellation cards and a guide on how to use them.

- A second set of 60 constellation cards with "lettered" corners (i.e. ∠ABC).

- A set of response pages to measure all corners in the 60 given constellations.

- A reading comprehension piece on the history of constellations and astronomy.

- 2 pages of questions and an answer key for the reading comprehension piece.

- "Les symboles du Zodiac" - An activity sheet on naming the different constellations of the zodiac.

- A research project on a constellation:

  • success criteria + detailed explanation of components;
  • worksheets for research information.

- "Des calculs célestes" - 3 pages of challenging word problems with an answer key.

- "Crée ta propre constellation" - A following directions activity on creating constellations with specific angles and shapes within them.

- "Crée ta propre constellation" - An activity on creating a unique constellation.

- "Art de constellation" - An art project suitable for your enriched students and your entire group as a final activity.

This is the first of (hopefully) many enrichment projects for math. Stay tuned!

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun.

Plant Cell Labeling 3D Diorama Science Project Pop Up Craft Activity

By That One Cheerful Classroom

Make reviewing plant cells fun with this engaging hands-on 3D diorama science craft project! Students learn about plant cells and then decorate a shoe box based on what they learned! Students are responsible for decorating the box and putting a creative scene inside that represents an plant cell. Students love it when they get to do projects and make their learning come to life!

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • pre-colored pages for a quick cut and prep
  • black and white pages for students to color their own background and pieces
  • rubric for easy grading
  • research page for students to record their learning
  • planning page for students to map out how they want their diorama to look

What is a diorama?

A diorama is a three-dimensional scene built to illustrate a topic. Dioramas are small scenes created with layers of materials. A diorama can be made out of a shoe box or similar box that includes a variety of information and pictures about a topic.

Students create a diorama by cutting, coloring, painting, and gluing pieces inside the box to create a model that shows a situation, such as a historical event or animals in their natural environment. Students can be encouraged to add real features such as grass, sand, sticks, etc.

The dioramas do not come with specific assembly instructions. Students should learn about the plant cell first, and use the pieces within this resource to creatively build their own unique diorama! This is a fun way for students to learn and get hands-on with the lesson/topic.

Prep is quick and easy... print the pieces on cardstock for durability and let your students explore the water as an enrichment activity to your lesson plan.

Linear Relationships Art #1 - Graphing Straight Lines - Project Based Learning

By Manic Math Teacher

Linear Relationships Art #1 - Graphing Straight Lines - PBL, Project Based Learning

This math art project embodies the principles of project-based learning, merging mathematics with artistic expression to engage students in a multifaceted educational experience. Students will graph 18 linear equations, meticulously tracing each line then creating intricate oblong shapes within spaces created by the lines.

The project culminates in a vibrant display of color as students fill in each unique shape, applying their understanding of mathematical concepts through a creative lens. This approach not only reinforces skills in graphing and geometry but also encourages artistic creativity and attention to detail. Ideal for fostering a deeper appreciation for the intersection of math and art, this project makes learning both interactive and visually compelling.

2 Versions Included

This math art project comes in two versions:

  1. Equations are provided - this allows students to begin graph pre-determined equations, all projects will have the same outline. This will still allow for student artistic expression within their shape creation and color choices.

  2. The second version is where students craft their own, adhering to specific criteria. The latter challenges gifted and talented learners, promoting higher-order thinking as they develop equations. This self-generated approach deepens understanding, fostering analytical skills and creative problem-solving in a mathematically artistic context.

Looking for more math and art? Try one of these!

Line Art: created by plotting specific points and connecting them with straight lines to create an illusion.

Line Art #1 - Coordinate Plane - Plotting Points

Line Art #1 - Coordinate Plane - Rotations Points - Transformations: Rotations

Resource List

This resource is a part of my 7th grade skills based curriculum that I am building, this is a work in progress and I will be focusing on 7th grade TEKS this year with hopes to expand to 6th and 8th grade. While I am based in Texas and most of the resources will be aligned with the TEKS, everything I am creating is skill based meaning they are not specific to Texas and can be used by anyone! Take a look through the Resource List linked below to see all that is available, it is a live document and will be updated as I go.
