Carol MiyasatoThank you very much for sharing your detailed "How to Use" lesson plan...
Using Proportions and Indirect Measurements, and Coordinate Geometry and Transformations, To Create A Computer-Generated Scale Model
Students in Jan Dumaran's 8th grade math class took measurements of a "green" portable on our campus. They then used the Fab Lab software to input the data that they collected and created scaled models of the building.
Summer Enrichment Course - Geometry (Kalakaua Middle School)
A geometry course to develop spatial visualization for incoming Kalakaua Middle School 7th graders. Students use TI-73 graphing calculators, cubes, building plans, Fablab software and a cutting tools. See individual lessons plan in share-ware section.
Attachment: A powerpoint overview presentation of the summer program which was conducted in June 2010, a course description, project handouts, and post-assessment.

Fablab Design Lessons
Here are some lesson template for designing draft models before using the FabLab software
Do You See What I See?
A geometry course to develop spatial visualization for incoming KMS 7th graders. Students will construct, manipulate, and interpret three-dimensional models of geometric figures with rich hands-on problem situations and tools such as TI-73 graphing calculators, cubes, building plans, the FabLab ModelMaker Software and a cutting tool.
More can be viewed by downloading the attachment below. It includes more details on the project outline
Math - Geometry (Washington Middle School)
This geometry project is intended to develop fluency with measurement and visual/spatial sense for Washington Middle School 8th graders. Students use FabLab software, calculators, and cutting tools. Project gives students hands-on practice in solving surface area and volume problems of rectangular prisms, square pyramids, cylinders and cones.
Attachment: A lesson plan on surface area and volume for a geometry project conducted in Spring 2010.

Math - Geometry (Dole Middle)
In this lesson, students use FabLab ModelMaker 3D modeling software to draw various three-dimensional shapes and estimate/calculate surface area and volume. Shapes include: cubes, rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones and square pyramids.
Attachments: Lesson plan worksheet, Pre-Assessment on Fablab, How to Use Fablab Modelmaker, Let's Practice using Fablab, Estimating Surface Area, Estimating Volume, Calculating Surface Area & Volume, Using nets, Post-assessment, Other Applications

Structures Wheel Class - 3D Modeling (Jarrett Middle School)
In this two-phase structures project, students learn the importance and basics of digital design and construction. In the first phase, students are provided with the materials to hand-design and construct a paper building. In the second phase, after reflecting on design/construction challenges, students use FabLab ModelMaker software and digital construction tools to design and construct a larger paper building.
Attachments: A powerpoint overview presentation of the structures project which was conducted in Spring 2010.
