We are doing the project this week for the first time and are finding that almost all of the kids are running VERY short on foil. I checked their calculations and for the most part they are right. Did you come across this and how did you handle it? It is hard to work with the foil and cut precisely and not run short.R.

Do you reteach or refresh the students on the formulas before letting them do the project? It's a 3 year gap between when they learned SA & Volume in 7th grade so unsure how to proceed--blind or reteach?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560247322802806477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-70288252006396407642016-03-29T15:12:38.152-05:002016-03-29T15:12:38.152-05:00I used party hats from the dollar store...8 for $1...I used party hats from the dollar store...8 for $1.00Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888436265013481803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-18644497743737031762016-03-29T15:10:32.398-05:002016-03-29T15:10:32.398-05:00I am doing a version of this in my class right now...I am doing a version of this in my class right now - such a great idea, thank you so much for sharing!<br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888436265013481803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-34288507859834538002016-02-12T00:09:22.323-06:002016-02-12T00:09:22.323-06:003-4 days the first time, then more like 2-33-4 days the first time, then more like 2-3miss.calcul8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02014623484245570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-66072842793350119162016-02-11T20:19:17.000-06:002016-02-11T20:19:17.000-06:00This is such a great idea and it is so cute!

Then they have to measure the circumference of the cone to find the radius. There was SO much discovery possible in this project! And so many ways to differentiate!

I required they make a graph paper drawing to scale. The net of a sphere came up with every group. Some students researched how to make a net. Others decided they would calculate the SA and know that all the extra foil should cover the head. Some students created a net like a baseball is sewn on. The best one was a student figured out that a rectangle could cover a sphere if it was the length of the circumference and the width of 1/2 the circumference. I let the students give each other ideas and sent them to talk to people who had had success if they came to me! <br /><br />The drawing the net part WAS super awesome, also having them create a scale version of the foil and how to cut it was great because they knew in advance where the waste would be! <br />madadrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114157751069386272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-46193711281243344102015-05-30T14:46:36.608-05:002015-05-30T14:46:36.608-05:00This was an AMAZING project.

They were so into it! <br /><br />Also for supplies for 45 Tin Men took me 4 boxes of foil, and got 3 for $1 wiffle balls at dollar store. Most expensive was the double sided tape I provided. I already had glue guns and they used those to put together.

It is hard because if they have too much, they can tear it off and throw it away. What you could do is call one group up at a time to cover there's in front of the class. But of course that would take longer.<br /><br />2) The final scores came from a rubric I completed. I looked at their and made comments but gave my own scores.

A couple questions for you- <br /><br />1) Did students lose points for not having enough tin to cover their figures? Is this just in the "completeness" section of the rubric? I would like to weight this more but don't know how to do so where they would not be able to pad their totals, etc. <br /><br />2) Where did you get their final scores? From the self-assessment or did you complete a rubric for each student also? Did you feel like their self-assessments were fairly accurate? <br /><br />Thank you so much for this wonderful resource! :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
