Jeff Bailey measures room with students to apply area formula to buying carpet

Tyson Maytanes (Geometry) and Jeff Bailey (Industrial Technology) are co-teaching Geometry in Construction at Roseville High School. On the third day of class, students were learning basic geometric shapes and how to calculate the area of those shapes. As they learned a new formula, it was immediately applied. For instance, the students used a tape measure to determine the dimensions of the classroom and calculated the area to determine how many square feet of carpet would be needed to cover it. They then converted it to square yards. When discussing triangles, they learned about the triangle between the sink, stove and refrigerator in the kitchen.

Working with community partners, the Roseville High School instructors are bringing geometry alive by applying it to building a modular house over the course of the semester. They are seeking donations of construction materials and tools to build the first house. The goal is to make the program self-sustaining by selling the home each year. Learn more at http://rhsgeometryinconstruction.org/.
