This Ferris Wheel was a hands on activity that aligned to the concepts of the Unit Circle and students understood how the change in position of a wheel creates the graphs known to be Sine, Cosine, and Tangent. The application \"Goodnote\" provided students an opportunity to write and describe their project, including taking photos of their project to submit as a PDF document for all other students to see. This allowed a new structure in our classroom culture to form.\r\nThe popsicle sticks where a phenomenal success that allowed students to use those resources to construct their Ferris Wheel by hand. Students colored, glued, and created authentic Ferris Wheels that spin and showcased their art and talent for other students to observe. I was glad to see students working hands on and as a collaborative group rather than traditional paper assignments. Most students were excited for the new technology and thought it was a useful tool to have in the classroom for projects.","fullyFundedDate":1735347734052,"projectUrl":"project/building-young-engineers-in-the-math-cla/8960416/","projectTitle":"Building Young Engineers in the Math Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Razo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9829546_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762325520680","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9829546"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95974","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2170,"numTeachers":90,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"24.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":95974,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mira Monte High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mira Monte High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/kern-high-school-district/mira-monte-high-school/95974"}
