What educators are saying
This was a great end of learning project. My students really enjoyed it and I enjoyed the differentiated levels that were included.
My students had some fun with this one! There was a nice variety with the types of math questions for them to solve (although I wish there were more)
Description
This cooperative project involves applying many math and language skills to a real life situation. Teams are tasked with planning an aquatic center. Specifications include rectangular and circular pools which allow students to practice older skills such as perimeter, area, and volume of rectangles and prisms, as well as newer skills such as circumference, area, and volume of circles and cylinders. Measurement conversions are integrated, as well as writing and presentation skills. A final poster project and grading rubric are included.
