Honeycomb

Get kids excited about science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) with this fun hands-on collaborative project. Typically done during a Family Math Night event, this project can also be done in the classroom. The best part is, each person is individually represented in the final product!

Participants will design an individual honeycomb cell that will be added to the collaborative honeycomb. They will learn about tessellations and beginning concepts in fractions.

Items included:
• list of materials needed
• mathematical background
• mathematical vocabulary
• table tent with step-by-step directions
• third steps
• classroom engineering challenge
• link to the video version of the lesson
