In this exciting, creative class, students will take on the role of theme park designers—planning rides, food stands, and attractions while practicing real-world math and writing skills! On Day 1, students receive a set amount of Theme Tokens to spend. They’ll choose rides and attractions from a price list, practice addition and subtraction to stay under budget, and begin sketching a layout map of their park. Using labeling and descriptive writing, they’ll name attractions, design zones, and organize pathways or landmarks. On Day 2, the fun continues as students draw or build a detailed map or mini model of their park using paper, recyclables, or building materials. They’ll label each area, add creative decorations, and share their finished designs in a class “Park Tour” presentation. This project builds confidence, creativity, and real academic skills through open-ended learning. 🎯 Learning Goals By the end of the project, students will be able to: - Apply addition and subtraction to manage a ride budget. - Use descriptive and functional labeling to organize a map. - Develop spatial and design skills by creating a top-down park layout or 3D model. - Communicate ideas effectively through a short presentation. - Strengthen problem-solving and creativity through open-ended design.
