This was simply wonderful to see all of these individuals helping out with a school project to see young people succeed. Students do so much better when their parents are involved in their activities and even the teacher’s parents were involved. When parents help out in the schools the classroom thrives. She said that her parents would buy the string and kite reels. Kemp said that the parents would furnish the ¼” dowel rods used for the kites. I really didn’t have anything left in my budget except some supply money and a few dollars to fund my projects until the school year ends. I asked her what to do about supplies for the kite project. It was great that a teacher wanted to apply what was taught in school to something real and see if it works.
KITE GEOMETRY HOW TO
Kemp said that she wanted to apply math principles to kites and if I would show her classes how to build the kites. Kemp about all this but she wanted to approach kites from a different angle! No pun intended her being a math teacher and all. We would talk about the history of kites and students would look up answers to questions about the history of kites on computers in the library. In art we made kites and students painted their sails with all kinds of designs. I said yes, I thought, I am always good for a kite project. I saw her out in the hall one day while I was doing my hall duty and she asked if I would do a kite project with her classes. She knew about some of the kite projects that I did at Waccamaw in Mr. Kemp wanted to do a special project and apply the math skills learned in class to a real situation. What does congruent mean? What does symmetry mean and what can you do with the knowledge in real life? These are just some of the questions Jackie Kemp hears all the time as a 9 th grade math/Geometry Teacher at Waccamaw High School.
