Exploring Geometry and Engineering with Magna-Tiles
by Elizabeth Gonzalez
In this lesson, students explore geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. They apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. This gives students an opportunity to develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
