What better way to discover 3-D shapes than with hands- on fun? My students love Angry Birds! They have Angry Bird shirts, hats, gloves, lunch boxes, book bags, and even shoes! I asked parents to send in cereal boxes, paper towel tubes, and other larger boxes from home. Then I asked to borrow plush Angry Birds. I expected to get 3 or 4, but NO, I got 9 the first day, and 5 more the next day. So, with 14 birds and lots of cylinders, cubes, cones, and rectangular and triangular prisms, we set off to build angry bird towers. They scored points for knocking things down and, needless to say, had a BLAST doing it! In this class, we work hard & play hard. Sometimes, we get to both at the same time!
