Greedy Triangle

51eYAUsbRUL__SX397_BO1,204,203,200_This week in library we shared the book titled, The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns. Bored and dissatisfied with his life, a triangle visits a local shapeshifter to add another angle to his shape. Poof! He becomes a quadrilateral. But then he gets greedy and keeps adding angles until he’s completely transformed. We really enjoyed this review of shapes and basic math concepts!
Newt, we were challenged to build a 3 dimensional triangle with a partner using Stawbees. Strawbees is a construction kit based on one simple unit that lets you connect straws to each other. Mrs. Narciso says they remind her of Tinker Toys!

Here are a few photos from our build.
