Squares and Cubes

Yesterday we continued our study of shapes.  In this lesson we first made a square out of mini marshmallows and toothpicks.  We made another square and then connected the two squares with more toothpicks.  We then had a cube!!  We described its attributes like we did last week with our other shapes.  The students counted the edges, vertices, and faces.  It was a lot of fun.  Of course, we had to eat the extra marshmallows when we were done!!
