Mrs. Shakir’s math club had their last meeting right before spring break. Mrs. Shakir presented them with a “Pasta Chair Challenge.” The students were tasked with creating a structure that could support a full water bottle without collapsing. The students were only given spaghetti, ziti, elbow macaroni, rulers, scale, and glue in order to complete this task. Students needed to use their knowledge of the following math concepts: dimensions, geometry (strong shapes, angles), weight, and area in order to be successful. The chairs turned out great!
