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!
This trip was fun but a lot of walking. - Carl
