Geometric Shape Construction with Straws and Connectors

Plastic straws
Connectors (e.g., clay, playdough, or specific straw connectors)
Rulers.Provide each student with plastic straws, connectors, and a ruler.
Challenge students to construct specific geometric figures (e.g., triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons).
Discuss the properties of each shape, such as the number of sides and angles.
Have students build more complex shapes, like cubes or pyramids, using multiple figures.
Display the constructed shapes and discuss the differences and similarities among them.
