For the first activity students designed gardens using area and perimeter. This was the warm up for our big design challenge that featured lots of rules / constraints! Next, students created ten polygons, each with a perimeter of exactly 30 cm. Then they had to create a dog house for Penny, a character from a story we read. Their dog house could only use three of their polygons, each polygon could touch another by only 2 cm, and finally, the total area of the dog house could not exceed 100 square centimeters. Check our their creations below!
