Students draw and create using specific dimensions

**Centimeters and inches

I had so much fun making this product. You will notice that I suggest that for some drawings, you have the students draw right onto the paper, and for others, students will draw on a separate piece of construction paper. They will then cut and glue to the measurement sheet. On the following slide, I have outlined exactly what needs to be prepped for each page in which the students will NOT draw directly onto the paper.

Have fun!

Hi!

Prepping for each drawing:

You will need a class set of 8 x10 green construction paper, one sheet for each student .

You will need white construction paper for each student that is 5X4(8X10 cut in half).

You will need a class set of 8X10 red construction paper, one sheet for each student.

You will need a class set of 8X10 tan construction paper, one sheet for each student. You can use strips of white construction paper for the frosting. Students can cut to make it curvy(see photo).
