 * Artifact 3: Student work**

The following samples of student work are from three different activities I have assigned my students. They demonstrate my ability to make learning engaging for students by appealing to their creative nature. It incorporates math skills into activities that, at first glance, do not seem to be strictly related to math, which serves to help students understand how math is applicable.

The first is sample is a scale model of a room done on Google SketchUp. Using scale and similarity, students had to recreate a room in their house.

The second is the same project as above, but done on paper and cardstock, and includes the rubric students used when creating it.

The final sample of student work is a picture created using lines, parabolas, and circles. The students had to include a list of equations so that the drawings could be recreated by other students in the class.
