Mrs. Taufa’s Geometry Class Solves Real-World Problem

Mrs. Taufa’s Geometry Class just completed a unit of study on Transformations. They learned that a transformation is a manipulation of a geometric shape or formula that maps the shape or formula from its preimage, or original position, to its image, or after-transformation position. Mosaic Owls took this knowledge into Virtual Reality to solve a real-world problem.
Our Real-World Problem:
Most of us don’t think about where the food we eat actually comes from. In reality, a lot of energy is expended transporting food from farms to the restaurant where you will eat it. Explore a potential solution to this problem so food can be grown in an energy-efficient, convenient way!
Today’s Mission:
To explore creating instructions for gardener robots on how to efficiently arrange plants on rooftops for restaurants.
Mrs. Taufa’s class rocked this mission!!!
