After the Tel Aviv class finished taking all their rubber bands off their tie-dye we got a geo-board out to further explore playing with rubber bands. Hannah, Lily and Eliza quickly got to work filing the geo-board with rubber bands and after a minute or two they whole thing was filled and the game was done.
I then gave them a challenge..to create a Jewish star on the geo-board. The girls LOVED the challenge and felt as though it was pretty hard to do. They experimented with the geo-board for awhile but it wasn’t turning out right. Then Eliza went to the art table and started drawing Jewish stars. Step by step we looked at the points and how they compared to each other and the geo-board. We slowly pieced together one triangle and then we flipped the board upside down and they quickly figured out how to do the second! It was so neat to see the many steps in their problem solving skills. It was a fun challenge that used real critical thinking skills.
Nice determination ladies! Job well done!
