Description
Are you looking for an engaging end of year math activity that has your upper elementary and middle school students design a zoo? This math resource is intended to help your students enjoy math as they problem solve. To make the activity interesting some of the zoo animals included are extinct (dinosaurs, woolly mammoth, dodo bird, etc.), endangered, or just regular animals.
This is the opening scenario for this 41 page Design a Zoo activity... "Congratulations! You and your team of engineers and zoologists have convinced the WZA (World Zoological Association) that your team is the right one to design the next world zoo. Your team is one of five finalists in the entire world who have been asked to design the first phase for a zoo. After your team comes up with the first phase for the Dream Zoo, it will then send the proposal to the WZA for review. Your team will want to make sure that what it chooses for this zoo will be a major attraction for hundreds of thousands of people every year! So, good luck to you and your team."

Everything that a teacher would need is included (handouts, answer key, extension activities, rubric, etc.). Students are given 60 million dollars to purchase animals, construct buildings, and build paths for a zoo. Prices of animals are based on the size of the animal and its sociability. Students will need to purchase animals from the five categories (mammals, reptiles, fish, birds, and invertebrates). Depending on your class, you may have to adjust the amount that is spent.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Samantha W: My students absolutely LOVED this zoo project. They had so much fun working together to design a zoo. It worked well with distancing as each student in the group could focus on a different part. They enjoyed seeing the final project come together!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Melinda A: This was a fun activity to supplement before a break. It was a fun activity and a nice break from the regular math book.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Sharon M: I've used this twice at the end of the year and I am amazed how each group takes so much time planning, assigning responsibilities, designing, and working towards completion.
