6th Grade Coordinate Grid Acorn Craftivity

Description

This acorn craftivity is the perfect way to bring some fall fun into your math class while students practice plotting points and drawing polygons on a coordinate grid (5.G.A.1 and 6.G.A.3). Students work through 6 acorn problems, then color their acorns to create a beautiful fall bulletin board or 3D display!

This craftivity works great for review, assessment, or as a fun break from regular math lessons. Students practice coordinate grid skills while expressing their creativity, making it a win for engagement and standards practice alike.

What’s included:

– Acorns 1-2: Plot points in Quadrant 1 and write the ordered pair for each given point
– Acorns 3-4: Plot points across all four quadrants (Q1-Q4) and write the ordered pair for each given point
– Acorns 5-6: Plot given points on the coordinate grid, connect them to form a polygon, and name the polygon
– Answer keys for all 6 acorns
– “Fall Into Math” bulletin board title (pages 10-12)

Ways to use this craftivity:

– Use one or more acorns as a flat coloring page and quick review
– Staple 3 acorns together for a 3D bulletin board display that pops off the wall
– Assemble all 6 acorns into a fully 3D hanging decoration

Skills covered:

– Identifying and writing ordered pairs in Quadrant 1
– Identifying and writing ordered pairs across all four quadrants
– Plotting points on a coordinate grid
– Drawing and naming polygons in the
