Shapes

One of Sam’s recent math homework assignments was to make shapes out of toothpicks and marshmallows or gumdrops. She was supposed to make both 2-D and 3-D shapes. We didn’t have marshmallows or gumdrops so we used jelly beans. Sam did a great job! I was very proud of all the 3-D shapes she made. She loved this assignment. She kept making bigger and bigger structures. She even made a house! She was allowed to bring a few to class to share. She couldn’t decide which she liked best, so she wound up bringing almost all of them. I told her not to worry, that I was sure her teacher would be very happy to see all her shapes.
