lengthwise on the seam and trims. o Connects shared edge of the adjacent vinyl pieces, pinches them flat, applies tape pieces lengthwise to one side and to attach the other side; stuffs before taping up final face of the polyhedron. Next Steps/Follow up Needs An additional class period is needed for polyhedron construction. Arts Impact/TPS Grant 2008-12 MATH ARTISTIC PATHWAYS – Sixth Grade Lesson Three Anibots: Construction and Engineering 10.16.2010 – 4-17 Teaching and Learning Strategies DO NOW WARM-UP Look at D.E. May’s Sculpture, Untitled, (inside the Plexiglas box). What shapes were needed to build this wood and cardboard sculpture? Why would the artist make patterns ahead of time? What would happen if the artist did not make accurate measurements for the of this sculpture? APM 5-16 1. Reinforces concept of Demonstrates aligning vinyl over pattern, “craftsmanship”. tracing, and cutting out vinyl pieces. Prompts: We are now going to our Anibots. “build” What does good craftsmanship in pattern making mean to us? How cutting? Because the vinyl is a transparent material, we will be able to see the paper pattern cutting guide through it and be able to trace right on it. Select the appropriate size of for your paper pattern. Carefully line up edges of vinyl and paper clip to prevent slippage. We will want to use good craftsmanship with this work because this will become our final product—our Anibot! Now use a ruler to guide your black permanent marker in tracing all of the straight lines in your pattern. DO NOT WRITE THE SHAPE LETTERS OR DIMENSIONS ON THE VINYL WITH YOUR MARKER, JUST THE LINES FOR EDGES OF POLYHEDRA. Before you cut, remove the paper pattern and cut through the middle of the lines with smooth, even cuts using the full blade of the scissors. Student: Traces and cuts out pieces for all three polyhedrons; double-checks to make sure they have all the pieces needed. APM 5-16 5-18 – Embedded Assessment: Criteria-based peer review 2. Demonstrates connecting polyhedron edges and transforming from 2-D to 3-D with tape. Prompts: Using your Anibot nets as your guide, lay out vinyl pieces into polyhedron. Start
