Abstract
- Scoliosis, the curvature of the spine, is a medical condition that often affects youth. This article provides students with an opportunity to explore the geometry behind the spine's curvature. Students will first develop a method for measuring curvature and then compare their method to the commonly used Cobb method. Contributors to iSTEM: Integrating Science Technology Engineering in Mathematic share ideas and activities that stimulate student interest in the integrated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in Kāgrade 6 classrooms.
