Geometry with Design

PLEASE ACCESS NOTES, PROOFS, AND PRACTICE PROBLEMS THROUGH MODULES

Welcome!

This course builds upon skills learned in Algebra courses and prepares students for life/aviation/aerospace applications as well as other future high school and college mathematics courses (e.g., precalculus, calculus and statistics). We begin our voyage by creating a tail wing logo design. We will then design the exterior of an airplane using geometric concepts, while considering historical and futuristic airplane designs. We will finalize our airplane designs by creating the airplane interior using CAD. The completed airplanes will “fly” over a flight simulation ground map.

Concepts will be enriched via weekly proofs and activities based upon a aviation or aerospace themes and the King County International Airport (KCIA) project.

This is the Canvas course for Geometry with Design at Raisbeck Aviation HS. The modules are organized by project units - click on the Module links to get to daily lessons & assignments. Topics on future dates may change as our class needs change.

About Me

This my first year at Raisbeck Aviation HS, where I am teaching Geometry and Leadership. This is my 20+ year teaching middle & high school, community college, and university. I started my career as a chemical/environmental engineer but soon learned that I prefer the classroom - showing students their potential. Last year, I taught Math 9, Math 10, and Math 11 at Maritime HS. I have taught math from Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus AB, as well as physics and chemistry. I teach because I love working with YOU and connecting the content to application.
