How can we use Maths to engineer a beautiful bridge?
The learning targets were : I can develop a creative design which fits a given brief. I can use my knowledge of structures and materials to develop a detailed plan. I can select and use tools to make a high quality product I can apply accuracy and precision. I can deduce and prove geometric principles
Students looked at three case studies examining the engineering language of bridges, the structural systems of bridges and the (...)
