Description
Looking for a way to promote cross-curricular collaboration with your middle school team while also having your students apply mathematical concepts to real world issues? This math resource allows you to do just that!
This math project is based on the novel, A Long Walk to Water. This rubric provides students with everything that they need (including a very important Google Maps link that I have tailored) to apply their mathematical perspective on the character, Nya.
Math concepts addressed in this project include scale factor, scale drawings, unit rate and constant of proportionality (equations, tables and graphs).
Along with this rubric, you will need to provide students with:
- poster paper
- rulers
- graph paper
- coloring pencils
- a device to access the rubric and necessary embedded link

CCSS7.G.A.1
Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.
CCSS7.RP.A.1
Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction Β½/ΒΌ miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.
CCSS7.RP.A.2
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
CCSS7.RP.A.2a
Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.
CCSS7.RP.A.2b
Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.
