Triangles/ Pyramids

This week in Gan Kochavim we discussed the triangular shape of the
pyramids. Giving the children two different sized plastic connecting
sticks they began to realize that to form the most common shape of a
pyramid they needed to use sticks of equal size. The children learned
that this type of triangle is known as an equilateral triangle meaning
that all three sides were of equal length. To more clearly see this,
the children used small connecting blocks to measure all three sides
and found that each side of the triangle required an equal number of
blocks to complete each measurement.
