park design

Our park has been designed for people of all ages to enjoy for all seasons. We have planted flowers and trees that can be found on Cape Cod in our flower beds. The fish pond has been stocked with fish you could find in our local area. The dimensions of our park are 200 yards wide by 150 yards long. Do you know what the total perimeter of our park would be? The area? Do you know what the geometric shapes are for the elements of our park?

Our classroom project required us to create and estimate the dimensions of elements in the park. As we designed the area we thought the park should have a place for younger children (a baby gym and a regular jungle gym were included.) Then we decided that our real life town, Bourne, really did need a park like the one we were creating so we decided to create a FAMILY DAY with a possible summer schedule just like other towns on Cape Cod have. Some of the events actually happen in our town, we just grouped them together in our fictional park. This is our first experience with technology, we hope you enjoy our creations.

Mrs. Doble and Ms. Davis helped us to make up math problems so make sure you check out our math page. If you are interested in knowing more about Cape Cod, check out our Cape Cod local interest page. It was created for middle school students for reports.
