Angled Pipe Cleaners

Our class wrapped up Unit 6 in Math with two days of intellectual art.  Since we reviewed angles in the unit, the students had to design 3D structures using angles only.  You could say that several attempts were made before they found one they were proud of designing.  After a while at designing their structure, students were allowed to create whatever they wanted. Some of the creations were buildings, ducks, wireless cell phones, flowers, and the sun.   I did not know that fourth graders would have so much fun playing with pipe cleaners.  I was proud of what they created and had a blast watching them laugh with each other.
