Using Inspiration, students will develop a tree where the top of the tree has 11 bubbles. The title to each bubble will be length, width, weight, volume, temperature, time, distance, perimeter, area, surface area, and angle measurement. Under each one of these, students will give two real world examples of where you can obtain these units. Under each real world applications, students will give an estimate of the real world application they developed. Students will be graded on mathematical correctness and creativity. This assignment is worth 50 points. Students will recieve 30 points for mathematical correctness, 10 points for completeness, and 10 points for creativity. The student who find the most creative ways to show the material will recieve 10 bonus points. This will be determined by a class vote. Students will have one week to create this project. It will be due April 1, 2008.
Standard that this project satisfies: The student determines and uses real number approximations (estimations) for length, width, weight, volume, temperature, time, distance, perimeter, area, surface area, and angle measurement using standard and nonstandard units of measure.
