My regular kids have already: learned how to keep track of surfaces (in computing surface areas); figured out how to find the height of a cone or pyramid given its slant height; reviewed how to calculate volumes and surface areas of a prism/cylinder or a pyramid/cone. In terms of their projects, most of the groups in my regular Geometry classes have gotten their 3-D designs and dimensions and nets with dimensions approved by me, and some groups are starting to cut out the nets to create the 3-D shapes.
I am excited! The regular projects are on track to be finished by Friday. (Honors kids will have a few extra days, since I want their efforts this week to be focused on polishing their Geometry magazine articles.) Their designs look pretty awesome and are all very different; the kids are practically tripping over themselves with excitement over this last project. Pictures to come!
Can I get a copy of the project details and rubrics used?
