Geometry Project: Park Design with Area, Perimeter, and Volume (with Budgeting!)
Math, Decimals, Multiplication and Division, Division, Money, Geometry, Measurements, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Projects
This project allows students to apply their knowledge of perimeter, area, volume, and decimal calculations to a realistic and creative situation. They are tasked with designing a new park that includes areas for swimming, playing (skate park, playground, and grass), eating, and walking. They use their knowledge of perimeter when considering the size and shape of their park and the amount of fencing required. Every student is assigned the same perimeter. This constraint ensures your students can accurately calculate perimeter, it makes some of the marking easier for you, and it will help stimulate a discussion about the relationship between perimeter and area. Although all the perimeters are the same, the areas of your students' parks can be vastly different depending on the shape chosen! They use their knowledge of area when dividing the park up into sections for different activities. An understanding of volume is used when considering filling the pool. Finally, they use their knowledge of decimal calculations when determining the final price of the entire project. Each different section has a different cost (unit rate). For example, paths are much cheaper than a playground, and grassy areas cost less than a swimming pool. I asked my students to calculate by hand, but you could allow yours to use a calculator as well. This project requires students to use creative and logical thinking skills, organization, careful calculating methods, and neat drawing/colouring. It is a great project to use as a summative assessment or to show parents at conferences. Grades to Use With: This math project could work in grades 4-8 in regular math classes. It could also be used in high school special education classes.

Do you need some new ideas for your 6th grade math unit to meet the Common Core State Standards for Geometry ? Here is a ready-to-go bundle with five fun real-life activities to incorporate into your unit plan. 1) Area of Triangles, Parallelograms, and Trapezoids : This JIGSAW activity allows your students to become experts at determining the area of one kind of shape. Then, using the Jigsaw instructional strategy, groups of three experts teach each other all of the formulas. 2) 5 Stations for Area, Perimeter, and Volume of Right-Angle Shapes : These fun stations allow students to plan a backyard, solve word problems, measure a box, and work with compound shapes! 3) Design a Logo : Students use their knowledge of plotting ordered pairs to draw several polygons on a Cartesian plane to reveal a logo. Then they get to design their own and trade their coordinates with a friend! 4) Paint a Doghouse : Students use organized tables and grid paper to carefully calculate the surface area of a doghouse to determine how much paint they would need to spruce it up. A great real world application! 5) I have included another bonus inquiry activity : Students investigate the relationship between area and perimeter to see if they can find a predictable trend. Grades to Use With: This bundle is designed for students in Grade 6, but can be used for Grade 5 enrichment, Grade 7 or 8 review, or high school special education classes.

Here's a real world applied math example for your middle school geometry unit! It will have students calculating the area of circles, volume of cylinders, percentage reductions, and dimensions of labels (nets). Students are tasked to become a valued member of a soup company's management team. They have to determine the current volume of their soup cans, and whether an equivalent proportional reduction in height or diameter of the can will have a larger impact on the volume of soup inside. How to Use: This 3 page worksheet walks students through the process step-by-step. They sketch the current can and calculate its volume. They calculate a 10% reduction in height OR a 10% reduction in diameter of the can to see which one has a larger impact on the volume of soup inside. As an extension, they can measure out the reduced can's actual label size and design an appealing logo and image. All of the instructions are included, with space for sketches, explanations and formulae. A complete answer key is also included to eliminate any guesswork when marking! Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed for middle grades students in grades 6-9 who are learning about key geometry concepts: volume of 3D shapes, area of circles, ratios and proportional relationships, and creating nets from 3D shapes. It could also be used in adult education classes or some high school special education settings.
