Math Activity - 20 minutes
Geometry Unit: Build shapes using toothpicks
Materials: toothpicks, playdough OR marshmallows
Think of all the 2D shapes you can (triangle, square, heart, circle, oval, rectangle, etc.)
Use your toothpicks and marshmallows to build these shapes
Remember to make sure you have the right amount of sides for each shape
A toothpick respresents a 'side' and a marshmallow represents a 'point' or a 'vertice'
Refer to the picture below for ideas of 2D shapes to build
When done, talk about the questions below with your parent:
What do you notice about how many sides they have when comparing with how many marshmallows you needed?
Were some shapes harder to make than others?
How many toothpicks do you need to make an octagon?
Are there any 2D shapes that you were not able to make with your materials?
How many marshmallows were eaten during this activity? (Ha Ha just joking!) :)
