We watched a video to learn more about Leonardo da Vinci's contributions. The students were fascinated to discover that da Vinci was not just an artist but also a mathematician! We looked at some of his early sketches of a helicopter, a submarine, and the muscles of the human arm.
After an engaging discussion, we made connections with da Vinci.
Sara noted that she connected with da Vinci because she too loved math!

The most lasting impression of Leonardo Da Vinci was made when the students were thrilled to discover that he wrote backwards to protect his work (they did not have patents and intellectual property rights then!)
