Module 5: Representing Objects Using Scale and Views

Whether you are a seamstress or a carpenter, as a tradesperson you will sketch and create a 2-D representation before building something.
The Module 5 Project is found in your MathWorks 11 textbook. During the project you will draw instructional diagrams that provide details on how to assemble an object. You will also be making a scale drawing and a model of the object.
At four points during Module 5, you are encouraged to work on a project step to spread out the work over a few weeks. Save each step to your course folder. The entire project will be presented at the end of Module 5.
The following is a list of Project Connections found in four lessons of Module 5. These Project Connections explain the goals, purpose, project steps, and checklists. The rubric provided will be used to assess your project.

Time
The aim is to complete this project in less than six hours.
Steps
Section 1 Lesson 1 Project Connection |
|
Section 2 Lesson 2 Project Connection | You have now worked with scale drawings and are ready to complete the “Draw Your Object” portion of the Module 5 Project found on page 231 of the textbook. |
Section 2 Lesson 4 Project Connection | You have now worked with scale models and are ready to complete Part 2 of “Complete Your Drawings and Build a Scale Model” of the Module 5 Project from page 247 of the textbook. Exploded views will be discussed in Section 3. Pay close attention to how you assemble your model for the Module 5 Project—you will use the order in which you assembled your model when you create an exploded view of your object. |
Section 3 Lesson 2 Project Connection | You have now worked with exploded views and are ready to complete Part 1 of “Complete Your Drawings and Build a Scale Model” of the Module 5 Project from page 247 of the textbook. At the end of this lesson your entire project should be complete. Self-assess your project using the Module 5 Project Rubric. Submit your entire Module 5 Project and self-assessment to your teacher. |
How You Will Be Evaluated
Your teacher will use the following Module 5 Project Rubric to assess your project. You can print or save a digital copy of this Module 5 Project Rubric to complete your project self-assessment.
MODULE 5 PROJECT RUBRIC | ||||
Score | Required Concepts |
Connections | Mathematical Calculations | Communication for Final Report |
3 Exceeds Acceptable Standard |
All of the nine project requirements outlined in the “Final Presentation Checklist” on page 209 of the textbook have been addressed. | Explanations show a detailed understanding of connections between the mathematics of scale and the required model and related three-dimensional diagrams used in this project. |
All required mathematical representations are completed, correct, and support explanations. | The work is presented in a neat, clear, and organized fashion that is easy to read and/or see. |
2 Meets Acceptable Standard |
Most of the nine project requirements have been addressed. | Explanations show an adequate understanding of connections between the mathematics of scale and the required model and related three-dimensional diagrams used in this project. | There may be some minor math/calculation errors or flaws in reasoning. | The work is presented in an organized fashion but may be hard to read at times. |
1 Below the Acceptable Standard |
Few of the nine project requirements have been addressed. | The response shows only a little understanding of connections between the mathematics of scale and the required model and related three-dimensional diagrams used in this project. | There are major math/calculation errors or serious flaws in reasoning. | The work appears sloppy and/or unorganized. It is hard to know what information goes together. |
0 Does Not Meet the Minimum Standard |
A minimal number of project requirements have been addressed. | The response shows a lack of understanding of connections between the mathematics of scale and the required model and related three-dimensional diagrams used in this project. | There is no understandable attempt at using mathematical representations. | There is no understandable presentation of project work. |
