This guide is ideal for those teachers who love toothpick bridge activities but need them to cover a greater span of curricula. Toothpick Bridges covers concepts such as tension, force, ratios, efficiency, and truss design, so students learn much more than model building.

The Toothpick Bridges Teacher’s Guide contains ITEEA standards, CCSS Math, and NGSS addressed; teacher and student instructions for a variety of math, science, and technology activities; pretests and posttests; resource pages; and links to video resources. Contains separate activities for middle school and high school students as well as links to career information and applications of the 4Cs (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity).

Equipment and materials needed to complete guide activities include the Toothpick Bridges – Getting Started Package, as well as other tools and materials. Items needed for all activities are listed in the teacher guide.
