Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of many different math concepts while designing a map of their own town! This hands-on math activity is a project that will definitely engage your students.
Objective: To demonstrate an understanding of geometric terms and measurement. Students will be designing and drawing a map that will incorporate many mathematical concepts.
The following concepts will be covered through this project-based learning activity:
-Partitioning shapes into equal areas of 4 and 8
-Regular polygons - pentagon, hexagon, octagon
-Irregular polygon
-The three triangles - equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, and isosceles
-Quadrilaterals - trapezoid, rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle, and square
-Arrays
-Congruent figures
-Lines of symmetry
-Line segments, rays, lines
-Parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and intersecting lines
-Obtuse, acute, and right angle (no degrees)
-Measuring length (some with fractions others without)
-Map skills (compass, scale, legend, title, etc)
-Coordinate graphing (optional to create an index)
-Perimeter (optional)
The following materials are included:
-Teacher's instructions and guide
-Student step-by-step directions - both in metric and standard units
-Student Checklist
-Student idea sheet
-Rubric
-Practice/math sheets
-Map materials
-Editable versions (Powerpoint & Google Slides) so that you can choose what your students need to focus on!)
It is recommended (though not required) that students have access to a math reference book and if possible, geometric stencils or templates. Information is included in the teacher's guide regarding this.
