What would Barbie Look like if she were Real?
Ever wondered what Barbie would look like if she were real? Now you can work with your students to find out!
Part 3
In order to save you and your students time, I measured various segments of Barbie's actual doll measurements. Students can use their measurements from Parts 1 and 2 of the Human Body Proportion Lab (available on TCP) OR measure their height or foot size to determine the SCALE FACTOR between their body and the doll's body. Using the SF, students will determine Barbie's measure

Perimeter and Area Real World Task
This task asks students to pretend they have been hired by a home improvement company to solve two problems for them. The first job requires students to examine the relationship between perimeter and area to help "Mr. Baker" design his garden. The second job focuses students on applying their understanding of area to help a family tile their kitchen. Let me know if you like it and I will upload some more tasks.

City Block Math Project
This project was originally created to be used with highly gifted students in a fourth grade classroom, but can most definitely be adapted for other ages and abilities as well. Some skills that it focuses on: multiplication, division, perimeter, area, money, and drawing to scale.
For this project, I create groups of students who together design a city block based on requirements that I have given them. They must find the area of each building and will later use these areas to determine costs

Social Issue Project: Dangerous Dolls?
During this project, students will measure themselves, measure action figures/dolls, and scale up the doll proportionally to life size, based on their height. Then, they will trace themselves on a large piece of butcher block paper. On that same paper, they will sketch out the life-sized doll proportions and create a body outline of what the doll would look like if it were their same height. They should finish with something that looks terribly disproportionate. From there, you can have a debate

Fraction Division using String!
After a discussion of reciprocals, students work in cooperative groups to prove the fraction division algorithm by folding lengths of string into fractional parts. After practicing by dividing a whole number length of string, they divide a fractional string length into smaller fractional parts.
Aha Moment: When finished, students will have proven why the abstract concept of fraction division is equal to multiplying by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Estimate and Measure with Bites!
Students will use food to get a hands-on experience with estimating and measuring. Students will first take a chip (or pretzel) and estimate the length. When recorded, they will then use their ruler to measure the chip. After everything is written, students will take a (small!) bite of the chip, and repeat the process.
