7th grade cumulative project [|7th grade Prezi]

For this project, the 7th grade students in Mrs. Schafer's math class will be completing a cumulative(one that incorporates many concepts learned this year) project about scale drawings/scale models. You will be revisting the concepts of scale drawings, scale models, scale factors, area, area of composite figures, and possibly equations. You have all kinds of notes on these topics, as well as unlimited Internet resources and classroom text in the room.

You will be working on groups, solely in class so there should be no homework for the next couple of weeks! YAY! Your group will design either a new workout facility or shopping center for the town of Greenwich! You will design a building layout and then figure out the dimensions, both real world and using a scale factor. Hopefully, Mrs. Seidel will be able to bring in the blueprints of her house as an added example. Lastly, you will create an advertisement to display your design and why it is the best! It must include the valuable information such as total area, name, attractions and possibly cost.

Take it one step at a time, ask any questions you may have, post discussions on this wiki and... we can even invite Mrs. Grose to join our wiki and she could provide some insight as well. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">Your first step could be to buy a poster board such as the ones shown below...
