Geometry is the answer.
Ms. Gluck's 8th grade math class at Hermosa Valley created, designed and flew their own tetrahedron kites. This 3 part project allowed students to work individually or with a partner. The project involved students building a kite, keeping a journal, along with completing an extensive math packet that integrated applications in geometry along with math concepts that were taught in class. Teamwork, communication, and math skills were the key factors required for successful completion of the project. As students worked diligently on their project for a week, they were required to keep a daily journal of their successes, failures, and any obstacles that they faced.
