Using geometry to do geology, “Modeling the Seafloor” is a handson activity in which students construct mathematical and physical models to represent a portion of the ocean's floor. While making a three-dimensional model of the seabed, students use fractions, decimals, conversions of decimals to fractions, scale drawings, formulas, visualization, and other skills. They see mathematics placed in a real-world context, and they use their mathematics skills as part of a process to achieve a meaningful end result.

It's got to have a center staircase!” “I've always wanted a kitchen with an island!” “Where is the best place for a skylight?” Enthusiastic comments such as these were typical of those I overheard while conducting a two-week workshop in which students used three-dimensional-model-building kits to plan and construct detailed scale models of their own home designs and to develop and sharpen mathematics skills related to architecture.
