Maths Exploration - 3D Building Design

Tracey Young —

Written by Isabel and Bethan

This term, during our Maths sessions we have been learning all about design and construction of buildings.  We have explored area, perimeter and the cost of designing new buildings.  

Our favourite part was using Tinkercad to make sure our building designs were accurate in length and area, ensuring our layout met the building requirements.  Next time, we would make our designs slightly bigger to ensure that they can be 3D printed as some designs had some really small parts.  We would like to thank Jason McLauchlan for printing these out for us!  We really appreciate your support.
