to solving problems. Engineering is using materials,
designing, crafting, and building – it helps us
understand how and why things work. "]]> 2021-05-05 13:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493681664 jschessler https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493695676 You would think that as a high school math teacher I would feel comfortable including engineering into my classes, however I often shy away from applying this in my classroom because I do not want to "waste time" with building and creating. I am always in Regents Prep mode and focus on solving problems that could be on the exam. Therefore, I worry that I did not know how to use the 'E" effectively in my classroom, so I just didn't really use it!]]> 2021-05-05 13:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493695676 jschessler https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493708826 E can actually have many applications in my gEometry classroom! Students can either use physical materials to build or websites such as https://www.comsol.com/learning-center/3d-geometry-tools-comsol-multiphysics AND https://teacher.desmos.com/search?q=3D
Engineering can really be used to apply real world examples and applications to my classroom!]]> 2021-05-05 13:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493708826 jschessler https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493746742 2021-05-05 13:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493746742 jschessler https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493748738 2021-05-05 13:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493748738 jschessler https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493752012 Students can follow this wikihow or search for a youtube video for how to find a cube! I will give students all different size pieces of paper to work with so that they can make different size cubes. Once the students have created their cubes I will ask them to find the cubes volume and surface area! Students will exchange cubes with at least two other classmates and compare results.]]> 2021-05-05 13:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493752012 jschessler https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493857610 On graph paper students can draw a blueprint of a building they would like to create. Students should use a minimum of three geometric shapes to create their building. Students will use the pythagorean theorem, volume formulas, and distance formulas to find the measurements of their buildings.]]> 2021-05-05 13:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493857610 jschessler https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493869163 Students will create a scale drawing of any large object of their choosing (i.e. The Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Statue of Liberty, The Lincoln Memorial, etc.). Students will look up the measurements or their object, then create a reasonable scale, using their scaling formula to find the scaled (similar) measurements. and then draw their scarled image!]]> 2021-05-05 13:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493869163 jschessler https://padlet.com/jschessler/8f55pb0xupkb17ts/wish/1493912430 1) Geometry Tools
