Geometry CAD project

Draw 2 or more 3D
shapes of your choosing
and write down the Area
formulas for each.
Print as 2D.
Craft one large object.
Print on 3D printer.
Teacher Professional Development (PD) training Agenda:

Go over computer requirements (internet access, computer/tablet, printers)

Download CAD web2.0 app
o An email telling teachers how to do this before the PD could be sent
Demonstrate program setup and usage
Have teachers draw the 3D objects in the student rubric (without letting them see it) and print
Engage teachers by having them collaborate as a group with me to create a rubric for their own
students
o Lead teachers to build a rubric similar to mine
o Show teachers my version for comparison
Discuss other ideas and brainstorm
