On May 17th, 2021, the fourth-grade hallway on Puxi Campus was covered with students’ geometry city projects. After learning the unit of geometry in math class, fourth-grade students used imagination and creativity to design and build their unique geometry city models in a group.

If you take a closer look, you will find many details in students’ designs. Each project includes several solid figures, such as a cube, cylinder, pyramid, rectangular prism, cone, and sphere. They also include plenty of polygons as decorations and labels of the buildings, for example, trapezoid, rhombus, hexagon, triangle, and so on. The transportation routes used parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and intersecting lines, which show complex and changing city routes.

To accomplish this grand project, students started a week ago to form teams and divide the work. Math teachers also provided checklists to assist students in organizing their teamwork more efficiently.

Students applied what they learn in meaningful contexts through this group project, making learning more fun and meaningful.
