3D Design Projects

Students in 4th-6th grades have been busy designing items which started on paper and then moved to a CAD program.  Students are using the friendly online program called Tinkercad to create their designs.

Shown here is Ryan with his tank.  The first attempt was good, but had some flaws.  The second attempt turned out great, showing many details of the tank.
 Then, Ryan was challenged to make the tank more realistic.  He worked on the turret so it turned completely around like a real tank.  Well done!

Fall Noetic Math Challenges

Twice a a year many students from grades 2nd-6th take the Noetic Math Challenge Test.  This test has 20 problems and needs to be completed in 45 minutes.  The problems are chosen for their difficulty level and allows students to attempt problems above their grade level for that extra challenge.  This is a fun challenge and a great piece of data for students and teachers to use from year to year.

This years Team/Grade Winners:

Top- 2nd Grade: Bryson, 3rd Grade: Zach, 4th Grade: Connor
Bottom- 5th Grade: Talan, 6th Grade: Corbin & Carson

Noetic Math also compares the scores of students with those around the country, Zach, Connor, and Talan all received National Honor Roll Medals for placing in the Top 10% of all scores.  

Congrats to all students who accepted the challenge and stretched their thinking!
