Tall Towers

This week the Pine kids have been really interested in building with magnetic tiles. Most of the creations made were either towers or castles made with bases that started with four magnetic tiles pushed together to make a cube, each cube was then stacked on top of one another to create a tower containing about 6 cubes. 

Today, J wasn't satisfied with a tower containing only 6 cubes. It simply wasn't big enough. In the time lapsed video below you can see how J began constructing a tower that had a pyramid base rather than the classic cube. She realized that this then made a taller tower containing 8 pyramids. 

"Look, I can make it taller like this! Now it's the biggest tower!"

Love to see this kind of problem solving!
