Hello Parents,
The Third Graders have been tasked to complete their 2ndMath Project. In this Second Quarter your child has found the area of quadrilaterals and decomposed composite figured and this project will allow them to apply all strategies and concepts learned. Your child will be required to use the information given by the teacher in order to successfully complete this project. The due date isFriday January 9th, 2015. This project will be graded as an assessment which counts for 50% of your child’s total grade.
Your child will use the following materials: grid paper (oversized), Table (provided by the teacher), and creativity.
The following is a description of the project:
Section 1:
1.Students created a composite figure on their grid paper.
2.Inside the composite figure, when decomposed, will show 3 non-overlapping quadrilaterals.
3.Each quadrilateral will be shaded a different color.
Section 2:
- Label the dimensions of each quadrilateral. Show the Length and Width of each quadrilateral.
- Your dimensions, equations, and total area are represented in the table.
Section 3:
- In the composite figure, each quadrilateral shows a school, a gymnasium, and a playground.
- The school has the greatest total area and the playground has the least total area.
Section 4: Creativity!
- Your grid paper should include all items from sections 1-3 neatly displayed with an artistic flavor.
- Make sure your blueprint is organized and neat. You may be as creative as possible using pictures that represent the environment you are creating.
****Please attaché the rubric to your project.
Thanks,
MC
