Math Monday: Magnatile Maze

 

Mama: "That's a-mazing!"

Mr. M: "..and clever of me." 

Magnatiles are so versatile! We used them for our Ralph (Mouse & the Motorcycle) & Stewart (Little) studies, to make a Rat Race Maze. By flipping our chalkboard-the triangular magnets reamined upright when arranged in a maze. We offered several styles of wooden beads to see which ones made the race. Mr. M spent loads of time devising containers to collect the rolling beads when they made it to the finish line.
