This awesome idea is inspired by Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational! Students create popsicle stick snowflakes and find hidden angles and shapes within them!

Thanks for sharing and linking to my site, Erin!! I love the geometry extension. AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! When I was photoshopping the craft sticks, I noticed shapes within the snowflake and thought cool! This is a great activity for a math station in the classroom. Kids could work independently and create tons of different snowflakes without gluing them.
