Edible Geometry

Students learned how to make geometric solids using toothpicks and marshmallows. They created square-based pyramids, triangle-based prisms, cubes, triangle-based pyramids, pentagonal prisms and rectangular prisms.

They were able to plot the properties of edges, vertices and faces on a chart for each 3D shape. 

After they were finished, they were invited to eat their models. The consensus was that math was delicious!
