New Insights and Their Implications

I learned a lot from the house project where we needed to determine how much paint was needed. It was interesting to try to figure out the answers based off of ideas from group members, how I would have done it on my own, and how students would look at it if I presented it as a teacher. I liked the idea, that someone mentioned in class, that students could take their own photos around the school so they would have their own angles to work with. Students can then see the real-life situation that they would need to know the formulas for areas of different shapes.
