2 kids & 1 piece of construction paper

A while back, at the end of the day I partnered the students up and gave each pair of kids 1 piece of construction paper. I told them I wanted to see who could make the longest chain out of 1 piece of paper! We talked about some of the things they might need to think and talk with their partner about before they just started cutting! Some of the other items that they had to work with were scissors, paper clips, tape, pencils, & rulers. Blakelee Adams and Jala Richard ended up with the longest chain by cutting their strips of paper skinnier so they would have more links in their chain! We measured with rulers to see exactly how long each chain ended up being! Below are pictures of students working and of the end results!
