DESIGNING A ZOO

Math Project Based Learning

This is a fun project for students to practice real world math. Your students will use area, perimeter, and critical thinking skills to design a layout for a zoo. Students should already be familiar with the concepts of area and perimeter before working on this project.

There are many options for how you can have students complete this project:

•    Use it as a whole class project to wrap up your area and perimeter unit.

•    Allow students who have mastered area and perimeter to work on it independent while you work in small groups with students who need extra help.

•    Have students keep a math project in their folder to work on when they finish other tasks early.

•    The art extension projects are great for the end of the year, after “the test,” or can even be used a creative home projects. I tried to include a nice variety so that students would have an interesting choice, but you may also have students suggest their own project ideas.
