Geometry with Design

PLEASE ACCESS NOTES THROUGH MODULES

Notes contain links to Practice Problems and other course materials.

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., algebra 2, precalculus, calculus and statistics). We begin our voyage by creating airplane art. We will then design the exterior of an airplane using geometric concepts, while considering historical airplane designs. We will finalize our airplanes by creating the airplane interior with CAD. The completed airplanes will “fly” to a designated King County International Airport (KCIA) project location and then over a flight simulation ground map composed of 3D shapes.

Concepts will be enriched via proofs and the KCIA project to develop logical/critical thinking, teamwork, and discourse skills.

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 second 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. 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.
