Topic	I gave my math students an online test last week. Due date is tonight.

We talked about how a lathe, a pottery wheel, and glass blowing all are examples rotational solids. We also did an activity where we made different paper shapes (starting with basic ones and working up to complicated ones) and taped them to a pencil to rotate like an axis. I really like this kind of geometry because it extends your previous knowledge of both 2D and 3D shapes, while also bridging the gap between them. There are many ways of making a 3D object from a 2D framework. Nets and rotational solids are just two of those examples. We also talked a lot about how scaling an object in 3D affects its surface area and volume. Great stuff. Deeper than just slapping numbers into formulas 30 times on a worksheet. Damn man that's pretty cool, I feel like I would have really benefited from a math class like that in HS. It really was just pages of plug and chug when I went through it. Kind of a miracle I had any interest in pursuing it after HS and made it to partial diff eq haha --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream <cite>Gwynevere posted [p:958705531] in I gave my ...
