Building Pyramids

Today was a very fun, but also very frustrating day. We were assigned the task of building a virtual pyramid on the BBC website. The game allowed you to pick the location, the material of your pyramid, the work force, the food the work force would eat, the benefits the work force would receive, the angle of the pyramid, the god or goddess that would look over the construction, and so on. I was partnered up with someone else, and we worked together to try to build a good pyramid for the king. I failed miserably at least 5 times, and he didn't have much luck either. Towards the end of class, he was able to complete most of the construction, but then failed again by not having enough supplies. He then tried again, and was able to complete the pyramid with success. It was tough, but we were able to do it.
