Amazing Triangles - Science
Aimed at primary level, this resource looks at building three-dimensional structures using 2D and 3D shapes. Linking to design and technology, it shows the practical application of mathematics in designing and building structures. Children observe shapes in their environment and then build cubes and triangular-based pyramids using sweets and cocktail sticks and investigate their strength. They are then challenged to build a structure that uses both triangles and squares, looking at criteria such as height or strength. It is linked to Amazing Triangles - Mathematics. This resource has been produced by Discover Science & Engineering.
