13. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators Did all that really make a difference? Let’s see what the statistics say…

14. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators “Students who take two or more CTE courses are less likely to drop out of high school.” ▪ NCCTE Study 2002, The Ohio State University

15. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators “CTE concentrators enroll in postsecondary education immediately after high school at a higher rate.” ▪ NAVE Study 2004, US Department of Education

16. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators “8-years after graduation, 53% of CTE concentrators had earned a postsecondary degree or certificate.” ▪ NAVE Study 2004, US Department of Education

17. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators “CTE concentrators who enter the workforce right after high school earn more money.” ▪ NAVE Study 2004, US Department of Education

18. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators “CTE concentrators who work while going to college earn more money.” ▪ NAVE Study 2004, US Department of Education

19. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators “7 years after graduation CTE concentrators earn 2% more for each CTE course taken in high school.” ▪ NAVE Study 2004, US Department of Education

27. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators Topic: Pythagorean theorem Location: Geometry Classroom Objective: Have the students compute the length of the hypotenuse on a right triangle when given the length of the legs. For a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, then a 2 + b 2 = c 2

29. Topic: Pythagorean theorem Location: Ag Shop Objective: Squaring a 15’ gate Using the 3-4-5 rule, mark a distance of 3 feet on the side, mark a distance of 4 feet on the bottom, if the corner is square the diagonal distance between the two points will be 5 feet.

30. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators  Ok lets go back in the classroom.  Let’s put the 3-4-5 rule into the equation a 2 + b 2 = c 2 you have 3 2 + 4 2 = 5 2.  Now let’s see 3 2 = 9 and 4 2 = 16 and 5 2 = 25…so 9 + 16 = 25. Is that correct?  This is called the Pythagorean theorem and the formula can be used to determine if the angle is 90 degrees or if the side is perpendicular to the base. We call this corner square…

31. Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators Topic: Pythagorean theorem Location: Community Park Objective: Squaring the concrete forms for the foundation on a pavilion The FFA Chapter class has secured a grant to add a pavilion to the community park. The students use the 3-4-5 Rule or Pythagorean theorem to square the foundation. a 2 + b 2 = c 2
