Geometry in Construction is an alternative approach to learning Geometry. The program is regionally recognized by the Des Plaines Valley Region School-College Alliance Best Practices. This course is unique due to the contextualized nature of the lessons. Each year, students take on different construction projects. So far, the class had built the baseball press box, the equipment shed for the tennis team, two additional sheds, 2 park model houses, and an indoor house.
In the class students also learn and relate mathematics to plumbing concepts with special right triangles, slope with string lines and speed squares, trigonometry with roof building, and area/volume with various construction-based concepts. Students perform real-world hands-on tasks with electrical boards and building staircases. Students culminate the school year with an architecture project where students design their own homes and create a scaled 3D model with the help of real architects.
