We grouped sticks in 2’s 5’s and 10s to county them.

Children worked in groups to complete a STEM Challenge.  Each group was given 20 cups and they had to work together to construct the tallest tower.  They thought carefully about the positioning of their cups and they worked hard to make a strong base for their tower.
