Years 7-9 - Maths Sustainability Project

Year 9 Mathematics Sustainability Project

Throughout Semester One, we undertook a project about the maths and science of creating a sustainable city and building. This project involved learning about how buildings can be sustainable, a section of problems that we had to show working out and solve the area, perimeter using various shapes and we learnt how to draw up building plans to scale.

The skills that were taught to us were very useful when it came to designing our buildings, learning areas and perimeter of composite shapes, how to measure volume and much more. The project was very enjoyable, it made everyone feel in control because it we each had the choice of selecting a building we would like to design. My favourite part of the project was laying out the cones to represent the layout of the building, it was a fun task and I would love to do it again.
