A lesson plan for grades K–1 Mathematics
In this lesson, one of a six-part unit from Illuminations titled “Going Places: Measuring and Mapping,” students create a map of their face and practice locating different parts using the geometric and measurement concepts they have learned in previous lessons. Students reproduce their face and describe it to reinforce their knowledge and skills of measuring and mapping. Using these familiar territories connects mathematics with daily encounters.
