My juniors in Interactive 3 were asked to do a project in which they took any three-dimensional object and created a scale model of it. Mathematically, it was to reinforce that for and scale factor n, all lengths are changed by n, areas by n^2, and volumes by n^3. Realistically, it was so the students could choose to work with something that interested them and maybe learn a bit about the construction of these objects.
Now, there’s a fairly poorly kept secret about me: I’m a fat kid. Therefore, smart students knew the way to my heart (and a good grade) would be to do something related to food. Enter: giant Pop Tart.
...so good...sprinkles...
Great job, Lauren!!!
