They will make a drawing showing what shapes they will use and how it will look when the bridge is completed. They need to ensure that the length of the sides is the same for each and will use nonstandard units of measurement. As a challenge some of my students will only be allowed to use a certain number of shapes .]]> 2022-04-19 03:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mooredeviam/w217jl5sidsrsvwj/wish/2147919388 Standards mooredeviam https://padlet.com/mooredeviam/w217jl5sidsrsvwj/wish/2147926024
