Make the longest paper chain using only 1 piece of paper.
Tools that can be used:
scissors
hands
a partner ( if children choose)
a glue stick
What are the important things to think about?
What is your strategy?
This partner team decided to cut the piece of paper in thin, short pieces
This team cut the pink paper on the long side of the paper and in very thin strips.
"You have to hold the ends together and count to 10 so the links stay in a circle."
" Whoa, that was a lot of hard work cutting all those paper strips."
Observations of the finished products:
"It was awesome working with my partner"
'Me and Cindy tried our best. Our chain was small the smallest."
"When you use skinnier links they can stretch out and the chain gets longer"
"I worked independently, it was fun"
"I see lots of circles"
"Only one chain is green"
"None of them are the same"
"I see a loop that is on the side of one"
"We all cut them differently"
"They are all different lengths"
"Some are different colors"
"The longest one is at the top and the links are from skinny pieces of paper"
"The links are in a pattern up down up down"
"Some links are fat and some are skinny"
