Objectives

Explore the geometry behind the construction of a base plate for a video game.

Transfer blueprint to graph paper and identify coordinates of critical points around the base plate (Plot on computer).

Correspond with students at Davea and use the mail form to send coordinates to the milling class.

Materials

Connection to the Internet

Geometer's Sketchpad (optional, but very helpful)

Microsoft Excel (optional, but very helpful)
