Stick Geometry
Geometry is the study of shapes, sizes, positions, and angles- and sticks are the perfect learning tool!
Create different sized sticks for Geometric Learning
Involve children in the process!
Children collect sticks
Children use their stick ruler (metric or customary) to measure the stick for cutting
Children can use a marker to mark where to cut
If age appropriate, children can cut the stick to the size they’ve measured and marked
Making Shapes with Sticks
Easy Math Manipulatives:
Provide sticks of various lengths for your child to manipulate into different shapes. Different length sticks will be integral to making different shapes.
Stick Shapes
Making shapes out of sticks help children to recognize, name, and create shapes.
*Children will be able to learn in a hands-on way, that a square needs all the same length sticks, but a rectangle needs 2 different sized sticks.
Learning Angles with Sticks
Sticks are easy manipulatives to introduce angles in an interactive and engaging way.
No protractor? No problem! Print one from the internet and cut it out!
Once your child has mastered measuring with sticks, they can search for angles in nature with a protractor.
