Instructor Guide: Math Tower

youmagine

This is a project from the Ultimaker Academy. It's designed to equip educators with a toolkit for ongoing professional development. With this toolkit, we aim to empower makers to turn their ideas and creativity into tangible results. The toolkit is still under construction, but we're publishing an open beta version of projects now, inviting feedback from our community to refine the projects and the toolkit itself. We've already tested these initial projects with a small group of schools. Now it's your turn! Share your thoughts, ask questions, or offer suggestions - just contact Ronald Scheer, our go-to expert on Ultimaker Education. The task for elementary students is to design a Math Tower consisting of 5 shapes using Tinkercad. As part of this toolkit, we'll provide guidance on how to approach teaching this project. By engaging with this project, students will develop their mathematical abilities in a fun and interactive way. They'll also hone their communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and ICT literacy as they create and share their designs. This project is the next installment of the MoreToMath initiative from LEGO Education. We're excited to collaborate on this project with Autodesk Sweden and LEGO Education.
