Scale drawing in engineering
A collection of resources to provide ideas for setting scale drawing in the context of engineering, together with materials to support teaching of these topics.
'Medical Emergencies' has a stand alone mathematical element that involves making a scale drawing of a medical storage device for use in emergencies.
There are two supporting resources. Both 'Measurement' and 'Scale Drawing' support the use of the 'Medical Emergencies' activity.
Medical Emergencies
The mathematical element of this resource involves students making a scale drawing of a medical storage device for use in emergencies. It forms part of a cross-curricular approach to learning about engineering.
Scale Drawing
This MEP resource from CIMT covers measuring lengths, plans using scales and maps using scales. The resource is helpful to use prior to working on the 'Medical Emergencies' activity.
Measurement
Pack one of this resource features a section on using a ruler and working with centimetres. The resource is helpful to use prior to working on the 'Medical Emergencies' activity.
