Description

Driving Question:

What is an effective island design?

Description:

Throughout this project, students will imagine that a new island has been formed and that they have been hired by the government to document the island.

Students can create a three dimensional model of the island, as well as other varied tasks. They use math, science, social studies, and writing skills to sketch and map out this new land. Students examine current articles on the controversy of creating an island and work together to devise a plan to keep the island and its inhabitants safe. They have multiple opportunities for problem solving, collaboration, and reflection.

What's Included with this Project:

NextLesson Projects are extended lessons based in real life situations or simulations, culminating in the creation of a final idea, interpretation or product. They are specifically designed to be ready to use and compatible with implementing PBL in your classroom. NextLesson Projects include 8 Key Components that facilitate an authentic PBL experience, requiring deeper learning and in-depth inquiry while also incorporating student voice and choice, reflection and revision and student collaboration.

This Project is delivered in PDF format and may include additional resources such as: links, videos, rubrics, a Rank & Reason exercise, handouts, etc. In addition, NextLesson Projects are focused around our 8 Key Components:

1- Driving Question

2- Key Learnings: Understanding & Skills

3- Final Product

4- Authenticity

5- Inquiry

6- Student Driven

7- Critique

8- Reflection

Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor.
Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., 𝘹-axis and 𝘹-coordinate, 𝘺-axis and 𝘺-coordinate).
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text.
