Practice math skills and learn about Egyptian history at the same time with this exercise.
Class instructions: Convert inches into cubits to learn how ancient Egyptians measured buildings. Compare your classroom size to that of 3 famous Egyptian monuments and make a comic about it.
Teacher instructions: Have students measure the classroom and using the instructions in the exemplar comic to convert their measurements into cubits. Then have students research 3 famous Egyptian monuments and write about the size comparison to their classroom.
Students will think about how they and others are feeling about the return to school. The comic prompts them to empathize with a number of feelings kids may have about returning to school, and consider how to be a good friend to their classmates.
