GEOMETRY IN CONSTRUCTION (GIC)

This is a high school Geometry course combined with a Manufacturing Technology course. The course alternates one day Geometry and one day Manufacturing Technology (which is often in the form of construction projects.) Students learn math concepts and then apply them to build sheds, picnic tables, mini-golf holes, and other projects. All geometry standards are taught in this course but with real world applications. "Mathematics with a Purpose" is the goal of this program. This course asks students to be driven in asking questions, working in cooperative groups and learning through a different non-traditional perspective.
