Seventh grade math students engaged in an interdisciplinary project to build cardboard boats. As part of their study of composite shapes and figures, they used a combination of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes to create models of boats that used a specified amount of cardboard or had a specified volume. They next built paper models of their designed boats before designing them using the 3D CAD program, SketchUp. Finally, they built full size models of their boats from cardboard and duct tape and raced them in the pool at the Mountain View Aquatic Center.
