At show-and-tell, Emma brings a step stool to talk about reaching things. She could not reach the top shelf in her closet. The stool has a wide bottom and a flat top. Emma taps the wide bottom and says, "This wide base makes it not wobbly." She taps the flat top and says, "The flat top is a place to stand." She says, "That helps so I can reach the high shelf safely." She shows how her feet fit on the top. Her classmate says, "Now I get why it doesn't tip." Why does Emma say the wide base is important?
