Dot to Dot: Pyramid with a Wide Base — Ages 6-8
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the bigger dot 1 at the very top; dots 2 to 10 run down the right slope.
- Dots 10 to 19 make the long base, so the line travels from right to left along the bottom.
- Dots 20 to 27 climb the left slope back to the top; join 27 to 1.
- The stone blocks and the face are printed; the dots make only the outline.
What this worksheet teaches
Nearly all the dots on each side lie on a straight line, so every stroke must continue in the same direction as the last. Keeping a line straight across ten dots is a real test of pencil control, and a ruler held against each side afterward shows how well it went. Drawing the base from right to left is worth noticing too, because most children naturally draw left to right. The finished outline is a triangle, and it opens a chat about the Great Pyramid of Giza, built about 4,500 years ago from more than two million stone blocks.
Play idea
Build a pyramid from paper cups or blocks: four on the bottom, then three, two and one on top. Count how many you used, then try a bigger one with five on the bottom.
