THE PERFECT WAY TO GET STUDENTS INTERESTED IN MATH!

The projects are easy to follow and can either be teacher run or student driven. Each math project is designed to run between 3-5 lessons depending on how much time you wish to allocate to the tasks.

Students explore famous landmarks around the world. They can then choose one of their choice to replicate in a mini model. Students use ratio and scale to help them create the correct size. To make it even more challenging students need to use 3D shapes to try and best replicate the famous structure. Students love sharing their ideas and designs.
