Subject: Math
Lesson Length: 35 - 45 mins
Topic: Geometry
Brief Description: In this lesson, students will craft riddles to describe 2D shapes based on their points, angles, and lines.
Know Before You Start: Students should be familiar with: points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines.
Hook:
- Read and discuss the sample comic.
- Which possible 2D shapes could be described by the riddle?
Activity:
- Have students choose from a variety of 2D shapes.
- Using the sample comic as a guide, have students create a two-to-four-panel “Riddle Comic” describing their shape.
- The comic should ask the reader to guess what shape they are describing based on its points, lines, and angles.
- Students should use the framework provided by the sample comic e.g., “I’m thinking of a shape… It has _. What shape could I be thinking of?”
Closure:
- Is the riddle correct?
- Are there any other clues their partner could have used?
Differentiation:
- Allow students to use the speech-to-text feature.
- Allow students to use the voiceover feature to read their comics aloud.
- Assign specific 2D shapes to students as needed.
- Allow students to work in pairs or groups as needed.

- Comic to print or display
