Ideas and Comments

"Thank you for putting my design on Math-Kitecture. It will help my presentation a lot." -- Hayden
"I love your website! I am a middle school Career Tech teacher in SC and my students are going to redesign our classroom" -- Marsha
"This website is fantastic! My students were having dificulty drawing a room to scale----your site gave me helpful hints to make their learning experience easier and more meaningful! A great resource---because sometimes the textbook just isn't enough...... Thanks a million and one!" -- Pam
" We have found this project to be highly motivating and self-differentiating, and plan to continue with students from several classes in 4th through 6th grades." -- Teacher of Gifted and Talented, MTES, NJ
"I am especially interested in the crossover between mathematics and architecture because it will take math out of the realm of abstraction and test preparation for the kids in our beleaguered public schools and make it something tangible, practical and exciting." -- teacher
"Measuring and doing the floor plan on graph paper took most of the time." -- teacher
"Real-world ideas to get kids first interested and then engaged in actual measurement." -- middle school teacher
