Students use a geometric shapes building set to construct 2-D and 3-D geometric shapes based on things they see at the Pizza Parlor (a local pizza restaurant).
By: Allie Blake, Rachel Bossong, & Luke Saunders
Students use various shapes to build a structure of their choice and personal interest, including but not limited to: houses, castles, etc. Students then break down their structures and group shapes into categories as they see fit, using 2D and 3D shape manipulatives.

Students explore different ways to design and build a playground.
By: Hazel Weatherby & Macey Wolfenbarger
Students build a playground that includes multiple structures made of shapes.
By: Kenzie Justice, Kat Steffen, and Katherine Thompson
Students find the “fattest” pumpkin using string, scissors, and a ruler. They will also have the chance to find Pi.
