concentrating on a geometry unit discussing area and volume. The teacher is hoping
to have the students design a home consisting of 1500 square feet of living space
with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a family room, and a kitchen. A playroom or
dining room are nice to have but are not needed. In the past, the teacher has asked
the students to draw it out with paper and pencil; however, this proved to be a poor
choice for reasons he has not given. The teacher is currently thinking of using craft
sticks and glue to have the students build models, but this does not fall within the
budget. The teacher is turning to the technology integrator for help
Due to the lack of funds and assuming the High School has a computer aided drafting (CADD) lab there will be no cost to the lesson. The technology integrator suggests the math teacher team teach with the CADD instructor. Each math student will be paired up with a student in the CADD class. These students will work together in accomplishing the task of designing and drafting a fifteen square foot home concentrating on a geometry unit area and volume.
Hey Jason, I remember hearing about another resource in one of the other classes that you shared to make floor plans. Do you remember what it was by any chance? I remember that it was not too difficult to use and it was not necessary to have CADD.
