Mini-Golf Design Project Integrates Art and Math

3/26/2022

0 Comments

 
Seventh graders have recently been creating mini-golf lanes (or holes) with Tinkercad computer-aided design software for a math-art integrated STREAM assignment.  In the first stage of the project, students create and label the segments of their putting lanes, as well as obstacles that contact the putting surface.  In Mrs. Cvetan's math class, students use measurements of components of their models to calculate surface area, perimeter, and cost of materials.  Their math calculations relate to the putting surface and walls, but not to the elaborate sculptural obstacles and forms above or around the putting area.  During this project, Mr. Bell and Mrs. Cvetan would team teach the 7W class for about 45 minutes per week.  

After fulfilling the math requirements of the assignment while working in art class and math class, students continue to develop their mini-golf lanes as works of digital art.  The complex sculptural forms in the works in this display were all created by our student artists with only the simple shape tools of the Tinkercad engineering software.

Mrs. Cvetan and Mr. Bell developed this project last year.
