I finally finished making the Constructive Triangles and am thrilled with the results! It was very easy to do and really looks great!
All I did was buy the appropriate color fun foam. (I substituted the gray for purple) I printed off
the constructive triangle patterns and blue triangles (black and white versions only) from
http://www.jmjpublishing.com/sensorial.htm.
Then I roughly cut them out and taped them to the foam. I took my time and carefully cut out the foam. I finished by using a sharpie to add the blackline to the edge for matching.
I chose to store ours in zipper bags for now, I also cut out a small control of error to toss in the bag. (more for me than Josh!) I plan to present these this week using these lesson plans.
So...what have you made lately?
Shannon

Hi there
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea
for an inexpensive and
probably more kid safe
version of the triangles.
I'd be interested in a file of
your small controls? What did
you use for templates for the
triangles?
Care to share?
K.
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI got the triangle patterns from http://www.jmjpublishing.com/sensorial.htm ~ which also included the small controls you see in the picture.
Shannon,
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for reminding me of this post of yours, I DID read it at the time but thought it was much further down the line. It didn't crop up in a search in my Google Reader either which perplexes me. I think I will do this!
It's perfect because I have one of those lifetime memberships at JMJ publishing, but they have so few things available at this point I forgot to check it. I'll be happy to finally use something from there.
Great job!
No problem! My Joshua is just using these and seems to really like them. I do not regret the work these took at all!
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled onto your blog. These look fab. I have a JMJ membership so will be doing this asap, thanks. :)
