Abstract
In this paper, the authors detail a fifth and a sixth grade geometry-based lesson involving Python coding. Both problem-based tasks involve the use of graphing various two-dimensional figures in the first quadrant with justification of shapes drawn. Helpful coding tips, sample prompts with example work, as well as teacher modifications, are included.
