3D shapes inquiry - Part 2

Provocation 2 - Building 3D shapes with Magna Tiles

Hands on experience of building 3D shapes provide many insights on the structure of 3D solids.Magna tiles is an excellent tool to help build them. I laid out Magna Tiles for the kids to explore and they started building lots of cubes, cuboids and pyramids. They were able to understand  what are bases and sides of 3D solids.

A lot of scope for inquiries such as " what is base for triangular pyramid?" , " how to build square based pyramid?", "can you change a pyramid into prism?", "can you turn a cuboid into cube?"
Here is a short video of Shrini building 3D structures.
