**__ MAKE YOUR OWN THEME PARK __** For Mrs. Robinson's 4th grade math problem-solving project, we are having the students make their own theme parks. The class will be split into 5 groups. The students are given the area of the park, and they must include 3-4 rides and a parking lot in their parks. The students will draw their parks on large sheets of paper to scale. They will then make a few powerpoint slides that they will use to present their final projects to the class. The students will need to be able to find area, find perimeter, and draw to scale. The teachers will teach these concepts to the students and give them opportunities to practice. =Objectives: = =At the conclusion of this project, students will have demonstrated the ability to: = -find area -find perimeter  -draw to scale  -create a PowerPoint  -use the Promethean board to practice math skills  -explain how they used math to solve problems  -present their PowerPoints and posters using effective communication skills  Calendar:  Session 1 April 4-administered pre-test, introduced problem-solving project  Session 2 April 8-went over scoring rubric and self-regulation materials, modeled and practiced area and perimeter  Session 3 April 11-further modeled and practiced area and perimeter, modeled scale  Session 4 April 15-further modeled scale, practiced scale  <span style="color: #2676e8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: x-large; line-height: 32px;">Session 5 April 18-modeled park sample problem, work time on posters  <span style="color: #2676e8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: x-large; line-height: 32px;">Session 6 April 20-work time on posters  <span style="color: #2676e8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: x-large; line-height: 32px;">Session 7 April 27-explained how to use PowerPoint, work time on posters and PowerPoint  <span style="color: #2676e8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: x-large; line-height: 32px;">Session 8 April 29-work time on posters and PowerPoint  <span style="color: #2676e8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: x-large; line-height: 32px;">Session 9 May 2-work time on posters and PowerPoint  <span style="color: #2676e8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: x-large; line-height: 32px;">Session 10 May 6-last work day on posters and PowerPoint, modeled presenting skills, presentation practice time  <span style="color: #2676e8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 170%;">Session 11 May 9-presentation practice time, presentations
