Making Cubes

This week in math, we have been learning all about geometry, including solid shapes. On Thursday, we tried to make cubes using toothpicks and marshmallows. Check out a couple of our kiddos making their cubes.

Here's Malachi. He made his cube without any help from the teacher. And it only took him a couple minutes to figure it out!

Here's Malachi again with his finished product.

(By the way, I love the comments you can hear in the background. Listen closely. Jacob says, "It's hard to make!" and Trinton is behind Malachi cuing him on what to say. Malachi says, "I made it out of toothpicks, marshmallows, and..." Trinton whispers, "And that's it." And Malachi echoes, "And that's it." So cute.)

Here's Mitchell and his cube.
