STEM Challenge #11: Frosted forest

Good morning!

Let us introduce a new STEM Challenge, carried out by the students of 3rd Grade:

"Design and build a frosted tree"

Materials:


This Challenge has been adapted from Kerry Tracy and is specially focused on Maths.

Pupils should build a tree with icicles on its branches. These icicles are already given to them: they have a printed sheet full of triangles, which are divided into 3 groups (Equilàter, Isòsceles, Escalè; in Catalan). Moreover, each triangle has some points.


Pupils have to build a tree following these criteria and restrictions:
  • Icicles cannot touch the ground or extend beyond the branch. 
  • There can't be 2 triangles of the same type in one branch.

At the end, each group counted their points! ;)
