Introduction
Today you will get the opportunity to build a house! There are many different shapes involved when making a house and we need your help to pick them out to make sure other people can safely live in the house.
Task
After this project, you will be able to recognize different shapes, as you will use them to build a house.
1. Pick a house that you would like to build:
2. Pick what shapes are in the house.
3. Determine where each shape goes on the house.
Process
Once you have choosen a house, we must do a little research to find out about the different shapes that could possibly be in a house.
First you will need to learn about the different shapes:

4------- All shapes are drawn correctly. The house is correctly labeled. The house is colored
3------- All shapes are drawn correctly. The house is correctly labeled.
2------- All the shapes are drawn correctly.
1------- Most of the shapes are drawn correctly.
0------- None of the shapes are drawn correctly.
Conclusion
