On Friday we completed our Place Value STEM Challenge. Students worked in groups to design a free standing structure with the largest value using graham crackers for hundreds, pretzel sticks for tens, and marshmallows for ones. They had to use the 4 C's to collaborate, think critically, be creative, and to communicate.
