This project was another really fun one. We first had to have a pattern for the checkered box in the middle of the fish. For the pattern we had to use shapes. I chose star, square, and heat. We were to complete the patter all they way down the checkered boxes. Once we were done with that, we colored the paper plate with marker. We then cut out a mouth on the fish and made it a side fin. The teachers gave us a piece of paper plate already cut out. We had to color that piece as well. Then, we glued the two pieces on the fish. The teachers then handed out eyes. We choose either a big eye or a little eye and stuck it on the fish. Teachers then put fishing wire in the fishes mouth like we caught it from the sea. We were then to present it to the class describing what the fish was, where we caught it, how much it weighed, and the name of the fish.
This would be good for a math lesson of Geometry. There are patterns and shapes throughout geometry and this fish would help students see that. It's a great way to work shapes and patterns. The students will love the coloring and will really see patterns when they are done with their project.
