Intro­duc­tion

Wel­come to the Scale Mod­el Project, a hands-on, inter­dis­ci­pli­nary learn­ing expe­ri­ence designed for Work­place Math­e­mat­ics 11 stu­dents. This project inte­grates math­e­mat­i­cal con­cepts with real-world appli­ca­tions, allow­ing stu­dents to explore 3D objects, scale draw­ings, and scale mod­el con­struc­tion .

The three part project includes research, draft­ing, and build­ing phas­es:

1. Research struc­tures to gath­er dimen­sions and design fea­tures.
2. Draft grid paper draw­ings using scaled mea­sure­ments.
3. Con­struct phys­i­cal scale mod­els of their cho­sen struc­tures.

This project strength­ens stu­dents’ math­e­mat­i­cal skills and encour­ages cre­ativ­i­ty, team­work, and prob­lem-solv­ing. By engag­ing with tra­di­tion­al indige­nous struc­tures, stu­dents con­nect math­e­mat­ics to cul­tur­al and his­tor­i­cal con­texts. It also pro­vides an oppor­tu­ni­ty for stu­dents to gain prac­ti­cal expe­ri­ence draft­ing scale struc­tures.
