Park

In this geometry project you will apply surface area, perimeter, and area to real world problems to create the perfect state park. By doing this webquest it will teach you how construction workers today plan out parks and other things. You will work in pairs to do this project.

Get ready to construct a park with formulas such as; surface area, area, and perimeter you will need to find the dimensions of a gazebo, bathroom, walking path, pond, playground and a parking lot to complete the park but remember you only have a certain amount of area to fit all of this in so make sure you find the area of the park.

Step 1. Think about how big the area you have to complete your park you will work in pairs each person will have three objects to find the dimensions of.

Step 2. Pick the layout of how you want your park to look and be designed.

Step 3. Think of how you want your park to look and start to sketch a rough draft.

Step 4. Be sure to include shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, and trapezoids.

Step 5. By now you should be thinking about the dimensions of the objects you are adding into your park.

Step 6. You should finish your rough draft and now you should be deciding how you want to make your final project.

Step 7. You should be finished and ready to present.

Use the rubric given to evaluate the efficiency of the work that the person has done to find the answers to the target questions.

Finding area, surface area, and perimeter will become very helpful in real life applications not only by building a park but maybe when you design your house or backyard so hopefully you learned how to design dimensions to fit into a select area or place.

Hi,  this is Jordan and CJ and we made this webquest. We are in 10th grade about to complete Geometry Honors. We made the webquest to enhance your skills when trying to find the area and dimension of certain objects around the park. This webquest is an easy way to test your skills when it comes to surface area, area and perimeter. We are giving permission for anyone to use this webquest for the betterment of their knowledge or the knowledge of others. This webquest may be shared but only under these same conditions.
