Geometric Snowflake + MakerEd Project

thingiverse

This snowflake was created in Tinkercad, a free program, to showcase nature's beauty. As a benchmark assessment for grades four-sixth, it requires basic knowledge of fractions and geometry. Before starting, use Tinkercad's free tutorials. Some students prefer independent work while others need step-by-step assistance. By combining fractions, geometry, and Tinkercad tools, you'll connect learning across the curriculum and create your own snowflake. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator Z18 How I Designed This Learning Targets and Prior Knowledge: Overarching Student Learning Target: Create one part of a snowflake, duplicate it to make the whole snowflake. Individual Learning Targets: I can log in independently. I can rename my project. I can change an object's width. I can change an object's length. I can change an object's height. I can scale an object evenly. I can rotate an object. I can raise an object off the work plane. I can group multiple objects. I can copy an object. I can paste an object. I can use the align tool. I can use the mirror tool. I can share my project via Google Drive. Prior Knowledge: Students started this 3D printing unit in Art after completing a math unit on fractions in general education.
