Math

This is what we started with -  toothpicks, a ball of Plasticine and a sheet of white paper.  

This is it after I got desperate and rebuilt it in a new easier shape.

this is my creation after it fell apart.


I think it was hard and frustrating because it kept on falling apart because it was very delicate and I had to be very gentle and careful with it. Also we did not have many ideas at the start. At first I thought about making a shape like a long stretched out dome tent (google it). Then, with that failing, I rebuilt it in a long tall pentagon shape ( I am too tall to fit in most tents, which is why I always need tall one) but it was too delicate to work with  so I, in  a rush because we needed something at the end of the lesson and all I had was a pile of sticks and Plasticine, I made a new one as fast as I could, this is the second photo you see on this post and was easy, strong and fast to make. I think it was fun because there wasn't much to remember and we could go freestyle. My overall refection is that is was very hard to make because it was too delicate .

P.S. Sorry about the lack of pictures, I didn't think about them until it was too late.
