Projects
Ready to build something awesome while unlocking the secret code of math? In this hands-on workshop, you will design and make your own custom bookmark from boxboard cereal boxes. You will master real-world crafting skills like transferring complex designs, drawing precise parallel lines, cutting straight edges, and folding thick materials cleanly. Along the way, geometry will come alive as you tackle squares in Project 1 and circles in Project 2. You will also make professional angled miter cuts and see exactly how perimeter and area work in action.
Making the cubic decimeter is all about the metric system. Designing a cube is easy but designing it with graph paper will teach you so much more.
The big thing you will learn is how to transfer your design. That's how you become an architect.
The Tetrahedron
This unit is all about engineering. You will learn how to draw an equilateral triangle, angles, design and in the end make a beautiful tetrahedron. One of the great tools you will learn how to use is the compass.
The catapult is a lot of fun to make. You will learn much more about making a plan, cutting material, assembling material and
experimenting.
The cubic decimeter is the metric system's anchor. You will have fun planning, measuring, cutting, and assembling a cube. After finish it, you will have good understanding of the metric system.
