Geometry
Gear Design
These exercises will assist students to apply algebra, geometry and trigonometry to create a spur gear, tapered gear and a gear assembly. There are three lessons that introduce the concept of a design that is controlled by geometry and
... ContinuedPolygons with SolidWorks
This exercise will assist students in visualizing and discovering how to find the formula to figure the sum of the interior angles of an n-gon. For both algebra and geometry students for an exercise in discovery learning. Contributed by
... ContinuedScale Factor for Surface Area and Volume
This lesson is an exploration in the relationship between scale factor and surface area and volume in solids. In the first part students create three different areas to investigate scale factor. These sketches will then be used in the second
... ContinuedProblem Solving with Patterns
Students learn to apply engineering design to solve a real-world manufacturing problem. The following concepts are explored: linear patterns (spacing and direction), circular patterns (angles and axis), using above concepts solve real-world problems. Contributed by Dan Benfield. Lesson Plan: ProblemSolvingwithPatterns
... ContinuedSurface Area and Volume for a Rectangular Prism
This lesson develops a rectangular prism utizing an rectangular sketch. Students are asked to determine surface area and volume of the rectangular prism. Developed for a 7th grade math level. Contributed by Amiee Vondrasek. . Lesson Plan: rectangular_prism
... ContinuedFlower Pot
This lesson examines the ability for students to model a flower pot and saucer, solve mass properties calculations, design a box to ship 100 flower pot units and create a classroom presentation. Contributed by Susan Bell . Lesson Plan:
... ContinuedUsing geometric relations to define Sketches to design solids.
Math teachers take your class to the CAD Lab!! This assignment deals with the real world application of geometric terms. It provides practical methods to a geometry math classes by using SolidWorks to design parts with geometric relations for creating
... ContinuedRevolving Shapes Around and Axis
This lesson provides experience in designing cylindrical shapes by revolving a profile about an axis. The learner will learn to use circular patterns in order to locate cuts and holes. The optional assignment requires the learner to research standard dimensions
... ContinuedLesson Plan: Overview of Course & Technology Tools
This lesson provides an overview to the SolidWorks – STEM online course. The course supports teachers developing their 3D skills in SolidWorks while applying theoretical concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum. Basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and
... ContinuedLesson Plan: Radius, Diameter and Area
This lesson develops a circle that will be part of a cylinder developed into a glass test tube. The lesson describes the relationship between diameter and radius and area of a circle. SolidWorks displays diameter by default. The circle is
... ContinuedLesson Plan: Unit Circle and Triangle
This lesson develops the Unit circle of radius 1, x-axis and y-axis sketched on the unit circle and compares how these values are the solution to cosine and sine. The x coordinate of a hypotenuse of a right triangle on
