Building Strong Shapes with Triangles

Building Strong Shapes with Triangles: "This is a guided participatory lesson for young children about simple shapes and how strength may be added to structures by building with triangles. The lesson starts with two-dimensional shapes, and then proceeds to three-dimensional shapes. Parents, if working with your child, you may wish to break this material into several sessions, or exclude the more advanced material you feel may be beyond your child's grade level. However, you are encouraged to let your child seek their own level, and you may be surprised to discover how much of this material comes naturally to them! This material will be refined and developed into a lesson plan at a future date."
