In this project, students apply concepts related to geometry and measurement to design their own airport runways. Students use parallel and perpendicular lines, perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors, and the areas of parallelograms and triangles in their designs.
The title intrigued me as I, like everyone else, can hardly wait to travel again!
This collection is great for a group project and allows students to use their learning in a multitude of subjects and to be creative in the process.
Teachers can add all sorts of other aspects to this project.
I often take the core aspects of the Edwin project and add my own spin to it.
