Extractions: Wood A Remarkable Fiber is a one (2 days) or two (4 days) credit course offered by the University of Idaho's Department of Forest Products. This course provides hands-on learning experiences for creation of activities in wood technology suitable for use in educational curricula. Teachers participating in the course learn about the many products made of wood, wood properties, papermaking, and other topics related to the wood products industry. Discussions include many of the social impacts and issues related to sustainable forest products. Participants are asked to develop lesson plans for their students, which build on information they were given during the workshop. Many of these lesson plans have been quite unique and innovative. We would like to share a few of them with you.

Extractions: Back to the Math Lesson Plan Menu Title of Lesson: Electronic Geometry Notebook Grade Level: Subject Area: Math and Geometry Instructional Goal: Students create a geometry notebook throughout their study of geometry. Entries will be added weekly. Submitted By Rationale Supply List Learning Strategies Communicate Results ... Career Connections Rationale: If students can apply their geometry knowledge to real applications they can have a more realistic understanding about the study of spatial objects. Performance Objectives: Students will describe relationships among the two and three dimensional shapes and their connections to the real world. Students learn to solve problems by using their drawings and technology. Students will make a hypertext notebook of the formulas and ideas in their geometry unit which will include real applications to that formulas or ideas. Instructional Strategies: At the beginning of the unit of study in geometry the teacher explains that the students will create a "Geometry Notebook" using HyperCard or HyperStudio. After each new concept learned, the class will be adding to their notebook. This notebook will become part of their final grade in the geometry unit of study. After the teacher explains each new geometry formula or idea and gives the class examples of practical use of the formula/idea the class will add it to their geometry notebook. Each concept should be explained in two to five cards and should include: 1.) the name of the geometric formula or idea, 2.) an example drawing to show the concept along with the formula, 3.) examples of how the formula/idea relates to shapes in nature*, 4.) two real -world applications of that formula or idea and 5.) at least one sample real world problem for someone in the class to work at a later date. The HyperCard or HyperStudio tools can be used for drawing and design of the cards in the stack.

Extractions: Maximizing Volume Under Real World Constraints Subject: Optimization Grade Levels: Geometry (Enrichment for Algebra II/Precalculus) Rationale: With the spurring of Dido's problem, there are often constraints to real world problems. This activity poses a very "real world" business example, discusses volume, geometrically models, and ties the geometric with the symbolic to optimize. Students will only be exposed to the existence of an optimal answer. Techniques will not be introduced, although this activity will serve as an excellent preparation for optimization lessons in their mathematics future.
