Haunted House Geometry Drawing for 4th Grade
A directed drawing activity in which 4th graders build a spooky haunted house using only geometric figures, practicing line segments, rays, parallel and perpendicular lines, right angles, quadrilaterals, isosceles triangles, and lines of symmetry. Each step is followed in order with a ruler, and a key-terms box defines the vocabulary before students begin drawing.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Introduce the Key Terms box first and have students point to examples of each term in the classroom before they start drawing.
- Discussion question: How can you tell whether two lines are parallel or perpendicular, and why does a right angle matter for the walls of a house?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: pair them with a partner, provide a pre-labeled reference sketch, and read each step aloud as they work.
- Extension for advanced students: challenge them to add a line of symmetry to their haunted house and explain how they verified that both halves match.
- Plan roughly 40 to 50 minutes for the full drawing, with extra time if students are still learning to use a ruler accurately.
