Maths Creations

Hi blogging world. Last week for maths we had to make a tent. We were given a stick of modelling clay, lots of tooth picks and a piece of cardboard. We made little balls of modelling clay and connected it with the tooth picks to make the walls and the floor. The shapes I used were squares and a rectangle. One of the problems were that our creations keep falling apart because of gravity pushing the modelling clay down. The fun things were that when making something with clay and tooth picks you need to push your self in a creative way. I found out that it must be very hard to build a real building. I think that next time I build something like this I will use a different variety of shapes. Over all I think that this activity was a very fun way to learn maths because it teach's kids maths is everywhere and that some shapes are stronger than others.  Here is a picture of mine. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to leave comment and share my blog with others
Blog you later.
