Mathematic outcomes
Mathematical reasoning is fundamental to the design and construction process.
In the lessons, we have the opportunity to ask mathematical thinking questions such as:
- How would I draw a diagram that shows the area, dimensions, etc. of what we are doing?
- How am I going to collect data to evaluate the design during the testing phase?
- How would I calculate ________?
- How would I calculate the cost of the material we need.
In general we can ask questions that get the students thinking and probing about the following:
Dimensions |
Shapes |
Patterns |
Number sense |
Colors |
Functions |
Area |
Grouping/Comparing |
Measurements |
