KCAS Standard: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.(7.6)
ReplyDeleteStudents struggle to see 3-D examples, or to change shapes from 2-D shapes. Students are able to recognize the different types of shapes and able to verbal say the difference between a 2-d and 3-d shape.
Students use boxes that I cut down and label to turn 2-d shapes into 3-d shapes. the pieces are labeled before I cut them into a 2-d shape. Students can also use sketch-up so they can see the benefit building a project up.
The benefit is students get a visual component to watch the shape actual build off of the page.
Great idea Jamie!!
DeleteIf only we had the resources!
DeleteM.HS-6 Use geometrical shapes to describe real world objects.
ReplyDeleteStudents struggle to make the connection between 3D shapes and real world objects, for example a sphere is a ball and a silo is a cylinder. Students see it as a circle and a oval.
I would use sketch up to allow students to create 3D objects based on shapes they are familiar with. For example use cubes and spheres to create a car.
The benefit of using this teaching approach is for the students to get a visual of what they are building and to see the different shapes that go into real world objects.
Excellent use of the 3-d printer and sketch up. By allowing the student to create and manipulate the items in a fun way will help reinforce the students learning.
DeleteThis would definitely benefit those students who are visual learners! This would be a very fun hands-on activity.
Delete4th Grade Physical Science: Make observations of an object’s motion to provide evidence that patterns can be used to predict future motion.
ReplyDeleteThe student loves working with technology, and building things. He is able to manipulate computer programs very easily. He has problems placing value on abstract thoughts. He does not generalize things easily.
Students will learn about motion they will design an object and create it using the 3d printer. The goal is to design an item that can move easily. They will use the item they create to conduct experiments on motion. They will use their findings to find patterns in motion. After they have conducted the experiment they will be prompted to find out how far their item will go if a certain amount of force is applied.
The benefit of using this for instruction is it allows students to take ownership of their product, and use their product to reach a learning target. They are provided with Enhanced Anchored instruction through using the objects they create, which will help to generalize the information.
The students will love creating items with the 3D printer!
DeleteThe common core standard that I would use is Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.
ReplyDeleteStudents often struggle with solving mathematical problems involving area, volume, and surface area, because they are not able to make the connection with mathematical problems to real world problems.
Students could use Sketch up to build different shapes and objects to create different real-world scenarios.
Students could benefit from this teaching approach, because Sketch up could put the mathematical problem in a real-world format that would be easier for students who struggle to understand.
Being able to make things as real life as possible is vital for our students. That's great!!

DeleteThe standard I would use is a high school physical science standard that evaluates a design of a device that minimizes the force on an object during collision. An example would be how a football helmet protects the head during football. My students have issues solving problems that are connected to something they are familiar with so a football helmet would be a good example to use. Students could use sketch up to create their own football helmet to be used in trials to see how well it minimizes the force of an object during a collision. The helmets could be printed with a 3D printer and be put on toy action figures during the test trials. Students could benefit from this because it is a lesson they would be involved in creating and is hands on.
ReplyDeleteThis would be great. The students would be engaged in this activity.
DeleteThe standard I would use this for is the seventh grade standard solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures; compute actual length and area from a scale drawing.
DeleteThe student I would be working with is able to input numbers and functions into a calculator to solve mathematical problems and equations. He does struggle to set the problem up. He has a hard time visualizing things that aren't concrete.
I would use sketch up to enable him to get a more realistic view of the objects included in the math problem. Also, he could figure out the scaled dimensions of various object and enter them in the computer and actually make the object.
This would benefit the student by making the problems more real-life and easier to get a visual of how the object actually looks. It can also be motivating as I am sure the students will enjoy using the 3-D printer to make things.
Great ideas Lyndsay and Lora. I know the kids will enjoy using the 3-D printer.
Delete1. (M-4.5) Identify points, lines, perpendicular lines, parallel lines and right, acute and obtuse angles in two dimensional figures.
ReplyDelete2. My student is a 4th grade male. He determined eligible for Mild Mental Delayed. If the topic is something he is interested in then you would have his full attention and he could even tell you things about it. But if it is something that he does not like he begins screaming loudly and make verbal threats. This child loves to draw and using the computer.
3. I would have my student to use Sketch Up to make points, lines, perpendicular lines, parallel lines as well as acute and obtuse angles. He could use the font feature to label each dimensional figures. I would also have the students to determine the angle degrees and the length of the lines.
As a motivator I would tell my students if they work on the lesson for 15 minutes without screaming or throwing a fit, then he could make a 3-d shape with adult assistance using Sketch-up and printing the 3-D shape out using a #-d Printer.
4. The benefit of using Sketch Up would be the child will be manipulating the program to make the shapes and also measuring. And the 3-D Printer could be used as a motivator for the student in hope he would work on the given task without throwing a tantrum.
I really like your lesson Glenna. Great job! Using it as a motivator is a great idea.
DeleteThe standard I chose was MHS.6. Using geometrical shapes to identify real world objects.
ReplyDeleteThe student I will be working with would be a 10th grade female that has multiple disabilities. She is very active and loves hands on activities.
I would use sketch up and the 3d printer to help her design different 2d shapes as 3d shapes. This student knows her shapes well from a 2d standpoint but seeing them in 3d she gets them easily confused. The 3d printer would allow us to print the shoes and look at them. I think using the 3d printer will be exciting and motivating for her.
4th grade area and perimeter.
ReplyDeleteThe students are autistic and 2 FMD. All the students have behavioral problems too. The two FMD students are a little higher functioning than the student with autism. We would use sketch up to make a building or 2-d planes that they can find the area and perimeter for. The benefit is that the students will be creating something and then applying the formulas to solve the problem so it will be engaging and they can take ownership and pride in what they have created.
