Stained Glass Algebra

After visiting Wissmach Glass I have found a Gold Seal Lesson that can be coordinated with the Math teacher to create a cross curricular project that will give the students an appreciation for the art glass manufacturer and the Stain Glass artist while incorporating Algebra. While the math teacher will teach the algebra piece of this lesson, the technology teacher will complete the following.
Introduce the students to Wissmach Glass using the website below to discuss the products made and how they would use them if fabricating the stained glass design they create.  Students will use the color, and pattern choices from Wissmach glass on their glass drafts.  After completing the entire unit students and teacher will look at and discuss the impact of this glass companies product on people and places around the world.
