As a final project in Mrs. Blair’s class, students combined creativity and math skills to design their own stained glass windows! 🎨📐

Throughout the project, students reviewed finding diagonal lengths using the Pythagorean Theorem, calculating interior angle measures with inverse trigonometry, determining the area of their shapes, and even figuring the total cost of their stained glass window and frame.

What a fun and creative way to apply real-world math concepts! Great work by all of our students on these beautiful final projects! ❤️🖤
