Welcome to Geometry & Construction WHS
• Randi Greenspan, Math• Damon Zeller, CTE

5 years in the making
![Page 3: Welcome to geometry & construction whs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555eb693d8b42a902e8b5a5c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Idea to combine Geometry and Construction
• Training in Loveland CO. (Contextual Learning, Inc.)
• Hands on learning for ALL students
• Learning academic concepts in real applications
![Page 4: Welcome to geometry & construction whs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555eb693d8b42a902e8b5a5c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How the class looks:
• 180 minutes every other day (2 block periods)
• Usually 90 minutes of math and 90 minutes of construction
• Current enrollment 29 students in grades 9-11

Goals
• Improve understanding of Geometry by applying theory in construction applications
• Increase enrollment and diversity in CTE
• AND YES, better test scores!!!

What’s Next?• Continue to increase 9th grade enrollment
• More integration of concepts and skills
• Authentic assessment
• A house?
