Students use mathematical applications to build, fly, and estimate the altitudes of four different types of polyhedral kites. Skills used include scaling, tangent function, and estimation. Clearly written, illustrated instructions explore options and parameters for each project. Historical background on kites highlights the relationship between math and other disciplines.Belsky, Nancy A. is the author of 'Building Kites Flying High With Math' with ISBN 9780866519182 and ISBN 0866519181.
