Third Grade's Overlapping Design

Before the third graders make their overlapping anthropomorphic initials, they are learning how to overlap. This lesson teaches about space like their landscapes in an earlier post. Overlapping shows subjects that are in front and behind.

Trace tape several times.

No overlap yet!

Erase lines that are behind or carefully skip over the lines in front to create the illusion of overlapping.

Working hard!

And look at the cool results!
