Coordinate Plane Amusement Park Project

This 11-page project packet is designed for students to create a "blue print" of their own amusement park. Packet also includes 3 pages of teacher directions/tips and a checklist. This is a culminating unit project to be used at the end of a unit on integers/graphing in the coordinate plane. By following the steps in each of five tasks, students create an amusement park using all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Students demonstrate understanding of plotting points on the coordinate plane, naming ordered pairs, reflecting points over the x and y axis, finding distance between two points, writing expression or equations including absolute value notation, properties of the four quadrants, identification of the origin, and using proportions to calculate actual distance given a ratio.
