Description

Students are encouraged to design a cabin in the space provided. Ultimately, they will create a composite shape using at least one of each of the 2D shapes shown in the box. It might be a good idea to show students some examples of cabins on the internet as inspiration and to activate prior knowledge.

Encourage students to colour their composite shapes after creating them. As a fast finisher activity, students add environmental features around their cabin
(e.g. pathway, garden, mountains in the background, trees).
