STEM Kid Constructions - TOPS! Cool Lessons from the Core
Tops are the tops! Let’s make our own and experiment!
Who would have thought we could blend so much science, engineering, and math into this simple little toy?
You’ve probably seen those valentines where you can punch out a circle and insert a pencil to make a top. Those are hugely disappointing. These tops, however, are COOL!
Anytime we do something cool in the classroom, we want to sneak in plenty of content with it, right? Such is the case here, and you’ll find Common Core State Standa

Friday Math -- Sports Pennants Geometry Design for 21st Century Learners
Powerful visual-mathematical connections with hands-on design challenges. . .
Everyone likes to cheer for someone, and the traditional pennant has been a mainstay of “fandom” for more than a century. Tried, tested, and refined with GATE nonverbal ability 4th and 5th graders, this lesson should be a hit with 6th grade, 7th grade (or beyond) too!
In this lesson, students use geometry, number sense, and measurement skills to design their own pennants. The keyword is PRECISION in these designs.

3D Clay Shapes
Really hone in on understanding all pieces to our 3D shapes with this activity. Students will use the worksheet to record their counts after creating 3D shapes with clay and toothpicks. As a challenge, have your early finishers use those shapes to create a castle. My students love this activity, and it's amazing to hear 2nd graders using such vocabulary correctly.
