It was interesting to make shapes with the sticks and then try to replicate it with the swords. It would be a nice lesson to do with younger students who are learning the basic properties of shapes and how to form them. They can discover how intersecting lines form and the fewest amount of sticks to make different shapes.
By incorporating the dance into it after they have played with the sticks they can see the relationship with how much simpler it is by having a group perform it. Hopefully they can think about the reasons for this.
I also find that having them draw a picture of the shape they made was a good idea at helping some students visual and understand what is happening.
