My summer school students loved this activity. We used this activity in concert with a lesson about the Egyptian pyramids. They had a great time building the tallest toothpick and marshmallow pyramids.
Such a great activity! Thank you so much for organizing it so well.
We will use this in our themed summer camp about the Olympics!
students were engaged and loved the activity. Used it for ESY
This was quite useful for my Gr 4 class but really any grade it would be good
My students loved this activity! Their pyramids were awesome!
This activity was a fun hands-on when we were learning about the pyramids. Students loved creating pyramids with a partner.
Great resource.
