Pyramids

This week, as part of a unit on Egypt, we read Mummy Math.  It is a cute story about two kids who use their knowledge of hieroglyphics and geometry to find their way through a pyramid and into the tomb of an ancient king.

Afterwards, BatBoy got into making pyramids out of paper.

First Square Pyramid

Then he photocopied the cover of Madeline and made a pyramid out of that.

Then he spent the next day or two drawing pyramid nets into his sketches.
