Who says math is just for worksheets? ๐Ÿ“ Our 8th graders are taking their geometric skills to the high seas! ๐ŸŒŠ

Students built Union and Confederate ship models, applying scale factors, surface area, and volume to ensure their designs are historically accurate and structurally sound. From calculating the displacement of ironclads to scaling down the dimensions of legendary vessels, they are seeing exactly how math built history. ๐Ÿ—๏ธ๐Ÿšข
