=Summary=

===Students will design and build a kite that will fly. Kites will show how several aspects of geometry are used in design and construction, such as angles, polygons, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and skew lines. ===

=CCSS Alignment for Grades 9-12=


 * ===**G-MG.3 **. //Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic grid systems based on ratios)//. Students will design a kite by experimenting with different triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, and different angles of support for sustained flight of their kite. ===
