Content Standard Addressed:
MAMDM.A.4 Students will analyze and evaluate the mathematics behind various methods of voting and
selection.
a. Evaluate various voting and selection processes to determine an appropriate method for a given situation.
b. Apply various ranking algorithms to determine an appropriate method for a given situation
MAMDM.G.1 Students will create and use two- and three-dimensional representations of authentic
situations.

Technology Standard Addressed:


Empowered Learner: Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving, and
demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.
1a Students articulate and set personal goals, develop strategies leveraging technology to achieve them and
reflect on the learning process itself to improve learning outcomes.
Innovative Designer: Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve
problems by creating new, useful, or imaginative solutions.
4a Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating
innovative artifacts, or solving authentic problems.
4c Students Develop, test, and refine prototypes as a part of a cyclical design process.
Students exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance, and the capacity to work with open ended
problems.

Selected Technology Tool: Excel

Lesson idea implementation:


The students will work in groups of two to design a three-dimensional object of their choosing. This might
be a house like the example, or it could be a car, a neighborhood, or even a park. The project idea would need
to be approved by the teacher. In this project, students will use three dimensional coordinates to represent
every vertex of their project. For example, if the student wanted to make a window on a house, this would
have four vertices, each with their own coordinates. Once they determine the coordinates for each vertex
(they may have as little as 30 vertices or as many as 200), they will extend their learning to put the picture in
perfect perspective. Four different Scatter Plots will be created using the Charts tool in Excel. Students will
connect the points using the draw line tool. The goal of the project is for them to analyze and create a
product in three dimensions. The perspective formula simply extends their project to make connections

artistically. During their construction, students will consider what lines must be parallel, how does this affect
how we choose our coordinates, how does the plane affect how many points are visible, which plane would
represent the top of the picture, etc.
The students will first be introduced to graphing coordinates in three dimensions by watching a video
(listed above). Students will use this project to understand the relationship between the XY plane, the YZ
plane, and the XZ plane. The project will take 2-3 days for the students to complete (of 90-minute class
periods). Student learning will be assessed using the table of coordinates in the excel file, the scatter plots
corresponding to each plane, and the final perfect perspective product. The final product can be
differentiated by allowing students to create simpler objects or putting students in groups of three for extra
help. This project has a lot of flexibility because students get to create an object that is as complex or as
simple as they desire (within reason).
To conclude the lesson, students will print their final perfect perspective drawings, color them, and the
class will anonymously vote on their favorite creation. Creations will also be taken to other teachers for their
opinion. The best one will receive a prize. To give students feedback, I would analyze their final picture to find
points that do not line up perfectly or look out of place to determine if there was a misplacement. To
determine if the student conceptually understands the relationships of the three planes, I will analyze their
three different views.
This project is related to art; therefore, I may be able to connect with the art teacher or local museum to
inquire about having a Math and Art display for the students to exhibit their excellent work (either at the
school or at the local museum). If students were to display their art, this would extend the project to a LoTi 5.
