Cut the following sail shapes from cardstock, cardboard or stiff paper. The shapes can be re-used between sail car groups.
Small Circle SailA
Medium Circle SailB
Large Circle SailC
Interesting Note: The large sails have twice the area of the
medium sails. The medium sails have twice the area of the small
sails. If you’re following the math… that makes the large sail FOUR times larger than the small
sail.
