Introduction to Project:
SmartDraw Lab Activity Day
Students Start to Design their Park |
Neighborhood Population:
Statistics
Students evaluate the neighborhood population statistics to determine needs of the park. |
Want List:
Percents
Students use the statistics from the previous day to generate what percentage of the park should be reserved for different purposes. |
Buying Building Materials: Percent Change
Students evaluate sell advertisements and calculate prices for supplies using percent change. |
Water Usage:
Functions of Rates
Students create functions to describe the water usage of the park. |
Aesthetics: Ratios and the Golden Ratio
Students make decisions about park characteristics based on ratios. |
Areas of the Park: Distributive Property
Students consider area limitations of the park. |
Constructing Handicap Ramps:
Solving Simple Equations
Students solve equations in order to build handicap ramp. |
Budget Restrictions: Solving
Multi-step Equations
Students solve multi-step equations involved with aspects of their budget. |
Balancing Parents Needs with Youth Recreation: Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides
Students balance the needs of different age groups. |
Water Usage and Plants Installed: Direct Variation
Students investigate the relationship between water usage and the plants installed. |
Size of Parking Lot and Other Aspects of the Park: Inverse Variation
Students investigate the relationship between the area of the parking lot and the areas of the other aspects of the park. |
Comparing Wishes to Budget Constraints: Solving Systems of Equations Graphically
Students solve equations graphically in order to make presentation for budget approval. |
Comparing Wishes to Budget Constraints: Solving Systems by Substitution
Students solve equations in order to determine the quantity of items in the park. |
Comparing Wishes to Budget Constraints: Solving Systems by Elimination
Students solve equations in order to determine quantity of items in the park.
|
Area of the Playground: Transforming Formulas
Students use area formulas to determine shapes and sizes of the playground and other elements of the park. |
Park Rabbit Population: Exponential Growth
Students use exponential growth equations to model the park rabbit population. |
Investing Profits or Taking Out Loans:
Simple and Compound Interest
Students use simple interest and compound interest equations to make decisions on whether to invest profits of park or to borrow more funds to add new amenities. |
SmartDraw Lab Activity Day
Students use computer program SmartDraw to complete their final park design to send to the contractors. |
Final Presentation Day
Students present their park designs to the class. |
