We as teachers always seem to try to fit Geometry in at the end of the year! Although I seem to fly through it, I wanted to make it fun. I used this idea when I was teaching 6th grade and I knew it would be even better here in 3rd grade. After teaching polygons, I brought in supplies for the students to make their own polygons. mini marshmallows and pretzel sticks. You couldn't beat this math class! I had them construct each specific polygons. When we were all done, they got to eat!! Yum!!
Ps..~~ I did find out that it is much easier to use toothpicks instead of pretzel sticks. The idea was good, but the marsh mallows kept breaking.
