Students brainstormed what a strong house was, for example it is heavy like a brick house, glued together with cement and has no holes; So when the big bad wolf huffs and puffs it will not blow down!
Later in the week students build houses with the unifix cubes and counted each block. Each child chose the number of blocks that they were most comfortable working with; some chose less than 5 blocks others decided to work with more than 10. Next they drew a picture to match their building and finally matched the number of blocks in their drawing to the number in our chart!
