Hi,

I am all about food when it comes to making the curriculum pop. For my 3rd grade 3D figure unit, I always use pretzel sticks and marshmallows and ask the students to build something. This year, I took their picture with the creation and then posed the question, how can you prove that this figure is 3D? The students had so much fun writing a proof and the other kids were challenging each other. It took this very common math activity to a whole new thinking level!

Having FUN…
