Math Monday: Flextangles & Matchstick Math

 

Lovely little art/math project to kick start Math Monday; flextangles. A little geometry and a whole lot of accurate ruler work. https://www.agirlandagluegun.com/how-to-make-a-flextangle/

We also introduced Matchstick Math to Mr. M. Definitely all for the hands-on activities.

Create a matchstick hexagon with equilateral triangles.

Remove only two matchsticks to reduce the number of equilateral triangles to five in total....then move two to make four triangles....move two to make three....move two to make two...

This book is an amazing hands-on sort of book for all ages.
