Welcome to Sophomore Seminar Math! In class we are working on the Tower Challenge. Each group has to make a tower that is at least 11 inches tall that will hold a brick for 5 seconds. The groups can only use 4 x 6 notecards, stapes, and folds. The goal is to make the cheapest tower that will hold the brick for 5 seconds. Each notecard, each staple, and each fold costs each group $1. Each member of the group that makes the cheapest, strongest tower in each class will win their choice of a king-size candy bar. It has been fun to watch and see the progress that groups are making!
