In 8th grade Algebra, students build houses that have a roof, gables, solar panels and a pond. They work with a partner and in doing so apply trigonometry, quadratic equations, square roots, writing and solving equations, reading and interpreting word problems, linear equations, area, and proportional reasoning. In addition to applying all of these math skills, students continue to develop collaboration and spatial skills. This one “maker” project is rich with application!
