Teacher Introduction
This PBL is designed for an on-level or above-level high school student. It uses a real world even to give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge of two-dimensional and three-dimensional measurements, operations on decimals, spatial reasoning, estimation, and properties of basic angles (45°, 90°, and 180°). Prior to attempting this project students should know how to operate on decimals, calculate the area of basic two-dimensional geometric shapes (circles, rectangles prisms, etc. ), use tape measures to precisely measure lengths, and covert fractions to decimals. This PBL can be used as a major project for students to demonstrate understanding and ability to problem solve and think critically.
