Building a Tent Model

Hi bloggers,

yesterday for maths we had to build a tent model out of tooth picks and modelling clay. Our task was to build a small tent model with shapes. I used a rectangle, squares and trapezoids. I also built a little camp fire. 

During the making of this I had problems. One of the problems was that my model kept on falling down because the modelling clay wasn't holding the tooth picks together in place. I  found out that after a while the model collapsed because of the modelling clay. 

This is my model!

I found it hard trying to make it stable so it doesn't fall. I think my shape was really good and strong. You also needed to be very focused and patient. Overall I think I did really well and I had great shapes. I would love it if you left a comment and checked out the rest of my learning blog!
