Geometry in Construction Unit 1: Constructions, Area, and Similarity
In this unit the students will be exploring construction problems involved with areas while using geometric construction principles & similarity to create scale drawings used in blue prints. Students will focus on common core standards of modeling, geometric constructions, and similarity in shapes, specifically in triangles. The students will be doing a Balsa Wood model of the class project for construction, building stairs, & focus on power tool safety.
Listed below are the lessons for the unit, additional resources in the form of activities and worksheets, and assessments to be used during and at the end of the unit. Please note that these lessons and resources are a work in progress and will be changed and modified throughout the school year.
