It can be tough to find time to teach students foundation skills related to tool use. I created a quick assignment to create Christmas ornaments using a protractor. I shared with one of the math teachers in our building and we will both be using this the last day of the semester. When students are done their ornaments, the ornaments will be going to Meals on Wheels to brighten the holiday for others. Here's a PowerPoint with step by step instructions and images.
