Title: Real-Life Math, Architecture, and Computers
Url: http://www.math-kitecture.com/
Publisher: New York (N.Y.). Board of Education.
Description: Math-Kitecture, as this site's original name suggests, lets students put their mathematical skills to work in architecture projects and exercises. The main activity has students draw a floor plan of their classroom to scale, and, in doing so, they "learn estimation, measuring skills, proportion, and ratios." They then make a computer draft of their drawings using either a scanner or a computer-aided design package. Once this is complete, students can email their floor plans to Math-Kitecture to have them posted in the online gallery. Other activities include Geometry in Architecture, Design a Fantastic Bedroom, and Walk Through a 3D Building.
