- Measurement: The child learned how to measure and cut the cardboard pieces to create the model of the Titanic.
- Geometry: The child used geometric shapes such as rectangles, squares, and triangles to construct the different parts of the Titanic.
- Proportions: The child had to consider the proportions of the different sections of the Titanic to ensure accuracy in the model.
- Scale: The child learned about scale as they decided how big or small to make the model in relation to the actual size of the Titanic.
- Estimation: The child estimated the amount of cardboard needed for each section of the model and adjusted accordingly.
- Problem-solving: The child encountered challenges while constructing the model and had to problem-solve to find solutions.
Continued development related to this activity could include:
- Exploring more complex geometric shapes and incorporating them into future models.
- Using mathematical formulas to calculate the scale and proportions of different objects when building models.
- Introducing the concept of volume and surface area when constructing more intricate models.
- Engaging in group projects where children can collaborate and use math skills to build larger and more detailed models.
