Give students a park-design problem with a perimeter of fifty-six units and a choice of internal layout. They divide the space among six uses, calculate area-based costs and add fencing before finding the total project cost. A pool-depth requirement adds volume work, while comparing finished plans can reveal how equal perimeters produce different areas and budgets.
A six-answer survey question anchors this integrated math project, which has students poll exactly 25 people and tally the responses by hand. From there they convert each answer's tally into a fraction out of 25, an equivalent fraction out of 100, and a percent written as a decimal, following a worked example (4/25 = 16/100 = 16% = 0.16). The next step converts each decimal to a number of degrees by multiplying by 360, with a reminder that all six values must sum to 360 degrees before drawing begins. In the final step, students use a protractor aligned to the circle's center to plot each angle in turn, then add a title, color, and labels to complete their own hand-drawn circle graph.
A high school financial literacy project where students compare a single-income vs. dual-income family budget to evaluate the real-world trade-offs of one parent staying home for childcare versus both parents working.
