Ertha Diggs and the Ancient Stone Arch Mystery
Abstract. Michael Serra describes a class project for constructing arches and examining their properties. The objective was for students to review and apply the properties of isosceles triangles, trapezoids, regular polygons, and of interior and exterior angle sums. They were to practice communicating mathematically and modeling in two and three dimensions. It is a fun two-day activity of hands-on mathematics and problem solving.
