Michael Thorpe ran through some of the algebraic calculations for the Popsicle Stick Project. He used a process that we might use with our students to set up a formula that could be used with any 2D structure we might make with the sticks. After we went through the whole process, which was a bit time consuming, he showed us an extremely simple way to get to the same answer. Great problem solving activity for our students.
