We are building a zoo!!
Students are working through a complex task design and building a zoo. Some chose to work in similar math ability groups, while other students chose to work alone. Students have to take the are required for an animal, double or triple the number (so that all animals have a buddy), and then determined the measurements of each enclosure in order to calculate the perimeter. Students also needed to decide if their animals needed a 3D enclosure - something like an eagle would need a roof so that it doesn't fly away...but tigers may only need a very tall wall. Once the preliminary work is done, students will create the blueprint of their zoo on a much smaller scale than what they calculated. Stay tuned for some pictures.
