Build Your Own Geometric Mobile!

Hello, GeoGenius! 

Today we’ll mix art and geometry to create something beautiful you can hang in your room or classroom:
 A Geometric Mobile made with paper shapes!

🎯 What You'll Need:

• Colored paper or cardboard

• Scissors ✂️

• A ruler

• A hole punch or pencil

• String or thread

• A stick or hanger to hang the mobile

Step 1: Cut Out Shapes

Using your ruler and scissors, cut out:

• 3 triangles

• 3 circles

• 2 squares

• 2 rectangles

• 1 hexagon 

Try different sizes and colors!

Example:

 Step 2: Label and Explore

On the back of each shape, write:

• Its name (e.g., triangle)

• The number of sides and vertices

• Whether it has symmetry

Step 3: Build Your Mobile

1. Punch a hole in each shape.

2. Tie string to each one.

3. Hang the shapes from a stick or hanger in a balanced design.

4. Make sure it can spin and move freely!

 Step 4: Observe and Reflect

• Which shapes are heavier or larger?

• Does your mobile stay balanced? Why or why not?

• How many different geometric properties are in your creation?
