Creating Fractal Tetrahegons

Members worked on their math skills yesterday in the Education Center.  Once members finished their homework, we focused our literacy stations on cross curricular math.  Members read an article on geometric patterns and answered reading comprehension questions about geometric shapes.

Next, members created 3D fractal tetrahegons using mini marshmallows and toothpicks.  Once they created the base, they built a 3D fractal tetrahegon using twenty four toothpicks and ten mini marshmallows. Once they created this, we connected these together to build an even bigger structure. Math can be interactive and fun.
