Math
- The student learned measurement concepts by deciding on the dimensions of the beige and calculating the amount of wood needed based on those dimensions.
- Problem-solving skills were developed as the student had to troubleshoot and make adjustments during the construction process to ensure the beige was built correctly.
- The student applied geometry principles by creating angles and shapes while constructing the beige, such as ensuring the corners were square.
Continued development can involve exploring more complex geometric shapes and angles in future woodworking projects, as well as incorporating volume and surface area calculations into the design process.
