In geometry, we've been learning about 2-D figures and 3-D solids. To liven things up, I gave the students toothpicks and mini-marshmallows with which to experiment. At first the students made rectangular prisms, square-based pyramids and cubes. However, it wasn't long before they discovered that the triangle is strongest structural shape - with that knowledge, most of them embarked on constructing enormous structures made entirely from triangular based pyramids! I apologize for any sugar highs that occurred!!!
