The purpose of this activity was to introduce vocabulary that while not specifically math, is related to a math activity that they are going to do. Students will create spaghetti cantilevers in math, hang weights from them, and measure the deflection.
Ms. Beth Ferguson, Pre-AP Algebra 2 teacher, wanted students to have a good visual of what a cantilever is ... how it is represented in the real world before the math lab activity the class is scheduled to have.
She plans to "play" the presentation before they begin the math so that students can see all the different representations of the cantilever before they begin the lesson.
Each class has their own presentation but all 6 of her classes' presentations can be seen on her website under Class Handouts. (Unit 11 Rational Functions)
