"When am I ever gonna use this stuff?" "How does this apply to real life?" Students will learn geometry and trigonometry in order to design and build their own obstacle course or model community! In their engineering classes, students up-cycle gears and pieces from common household items in order to build cars that drive themselves. But, they need to be able to test the cars. So, in Honors Geometry, students determine how steep they can make ramps before the robots see them as walls instead of roads, how long and how tall to make bridges over lower roads, and how tight to make turns in the roads. Because projects are driven by student interest, the other option that students are presented with is building a model community. Each group of students selects blueprints for their building to be scaled to fit onto a platform. Students use trig to determine what angle to make cuts for their boards. They collect their buildings into a community to put on display for Exhibition Night, at which they show off the works of their labor and explain to parents what they had to learn in order to build their project.
