After choosing a standard of adding and subtracting decimals, and building on an existing playground project (from another teacher in Midwest City), my kids began the playground project! We started by researching playground safety and writing and informative paragraph combining two different articles. Then the kids used google forms to create surveys asking what kids liked and wanted on their playground. After they collected their data, they analyzed the data on their google spreadsheet and created a graph using an online graph maker (It is a gov website, so right now it's down). Next, the kids listed all the items they wanted! They rounded the prices and got an estimated total before they found the actual cost. The actual cost had to be under $40,000!
We did this project last year, but I added the google form surveys and graphs as well as the informative playground safety writing! I know this is a short version of the layout. If you want more information you can message me and we can talk.
The kids will pick the project BACK up when we get to area/perimeter/volume! They are super excited about the project.
