The
original canvas was titled “An introduction to a unit plan on World War II: The Pacific”. This original unit showed how the atomic bombs
use affected the outcome of the war. To
put a math spin on it I decided to use ratios and percentages to show damage
and chances of surviving an atomic bomb.
I concentrated the math part of this collaborative lesson on the atomic
bomb because it seemed to be the main focus of the original canvas. I knew how I wanted to use the math for this
unit; however I wanted to make it an interesting introduction to engage the
students. All of my supporting tools,
such as the video, picture gallery, and additional resources were there to
connect the history aspect of WWII with the mathematics behind it. The pictures help show the radius of the
blast and the damage done per second.
The video also shows the blast radius for bombs of different sizes. I did not remove anything from the original
canvas because it all meshed well with my side of the collaborative unit.
