Subject: hands-on project
I'm looking for a good hands-on project for my second semester resource Geometry class. We have all ready built bridges from toothpicks. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

Location: Henry Clay		i also have a book called Unfolding Mathematics with unit origami which could possibly be used in Geometry. I make a triangle measuring tool and a samuri helmet(out of newspaper) that my students really enjoy.

Location: Henry Clay		A third idea would be to use Peter's pappy paper geometry book. I have not used this in a classroom setting yet, but Peter I believe has.
