Marshmallow Engineering
As part of a fun maths class we constructed 3D and 2D shapes using cocktail sticks and mini marshmallows. We worked on our counting and estimating skills. The marshmallows became the corners and the sticks were the edges of our shapes. After making our shapes we used our imagination to construct other shapes. This was an enjoyable activity. Next time we attempt this activity we could use spaghetti or wooden skewers for bigger structures. We could also introduce a competition for the tallest structure.
