Dear YES Mag,
My seventh grade class at St. Edwards School in Herminie, PA is
very small, only one boy and five girls. As an introduction to the
Geometry chapter in Pre-Algebra we decided to build the Geodesic
Club House as a group project. We read through the letters on your
website, gathered some worthwhile tips, and printed out the directions.
Working in groups of three, it took us four class periods of rolling,
cutting, and taping to get it completely assembled. The project
kept everyone interested and involved. All six students easily fit
inside and enjoy having geometry lessons there with line segments,
angles, triangles, and pentagons close at hand. Our dome is the
envy of the other students and the pride of seventh grade. Thank-you
for your terrific idea.
