What educators are saying

Fun activity. Just make sure that your dots are very sticky. I had some dots that must have lost their stick and it made it frustrating for the students. I bought new dots and it was great! The students had fun with the building challenge.
My students loved this activity! It was very interesting to see the different approaches each student took in order to accomplish the task.
