Since many of my students come from low income families, they do not have the necessary materials at home to be creative and work on projects. Many of them have not been successful in school, so they are not motivated to learn. We still teach all academic subjects with them, but try to motivate them using different strategies for learning. We just lack the basic materials to complete a project. Students will look at different stained glass windows around the world and will identify lines and shapes in the windows. We will be studying geography along with math. Many of our students have not traveled out of the area that they live in. We will look for lines that have slope. From these ideas, student will draw their own stained glass windows on a coordinate plane and will identify the slope of the lines. They will also identify angles and shapes within the windows. The students will learn how to determine the slope of a line using rise over run and how to identify the slope of an equation. Students will learn how to draw lines on a coordinate plane on graph paper using the slope and y intercept. From these equations they will create a stained glass design. They will have certain equations that they have to incorporate into the project and will have to create some of their own to individualize their final product. They will also learn how to measure angles with a protractor. The project will take approximately two weeks to complete, but they will have a finished project that they will be proud of. They will be learning algebra and geometry and will see how it is used in real world settings.
