Tallest Tower

The tower is not the point. The plan is.

  1. 1Look at all the blocks first. Do not touch them yet.
  2. 2Say which one goes at the bottom, and why.
  3. 3Build it. If it falls, say what you would change before rebuilding.
8 minutes You need: blocks

Why it helps: Planning and space: deciding what goes at the bottom and why, then testing it.

What do I say if they get stuck?
