Geometry Fun With Gumdrops

As a culminating activity to our Geometry Unit in math, we built three dimensional solid figures out of toothpicks and gumdrops.  What a fun (and tasty!) way of putting our new skills into fun practice!  We built the cube, rectangular prism, square pyramid, and triangular prism.  Want to know more about geometric faces, edges, and vertices?  Just ask...we'll tell you everything you want to know!

Oh, What Fun!
