Best Real-Life Math Activity - Pythagoras Project - Designing a Road System
By Daniel
This fun, real-life 17-page activity (with complete key) lets students explore their own creativity in designing a road system between 4 towns. Students can DIY and only need an understanding of the Theorem of Pythagoras to be successful with this project.
The first real-life connection - Students will get a vivid and solid idea of what a transportation engineer does on a daily basis.
The second real-life connection - Honey bees build their honeycombs in an optimal way. Once students have come close to solving the challenge of an optimal road system, they will have come close to the design of a honey comb.
