Ratios, Percents and 3D Printing
by Shari Burtenshaw
This lesson introduces students to TinkerCAD and has them create simple shapes that measure at a given ratio. The students then print and measure their design to see how close they were able to get to the desired ratio. There are extension questions leading students to give the length of their shape if a new shape was 150% of their original shape.
