Area and Perimeter Dinosaur Park Project

This project has TWO versions that both cover area and perimeter of rectangular shapes.

Your students have been hired to design a new theme park, a "Dino Park!" In a make-believe world where scientists have brought back dinosaurs (without disaster...) your students will choose the dinosaurs they feature in their park and design a park layout.

Students will use a "Dino Menu" to see their dinosaur choices and the area required for each habitat. Students will also have to abide by certain rules when deciding which dinosaurs to include to ensure variety and public interest in the park.

Students will fill out a sheet that asks for the perimeter and area of each of their dinosaur habitats as well as the other required buildings in the park.

If you choose, there is also two versions of a "cost analysis" sheet where students use the perimeter and area to calculate the building cost of each habitat! (2 by 1 digital multiplication).

What's Included?:

• Teacher Notes including ideas for extension lessons and integration
• 2 versions of a Student Information Sheet (without and with the cost analysis included)
• 2 versions of a Rubric for Self-Evaluation and/or Teacher Grading (without and with the cost analysis included)
• "Dino Menu" with required areas
• Rough Draft Dino Park Design Sheet
• Final Draft Dino Park Design Sheet
• Dino Park Statistics Sheet
• Optional Dinosaur Labels with Art and Names
• Cost Analysis Sheet Version 1 (Students only fill in totals)
• Cost Analysis Sheet Version 2 (Guided calculations for each dinosaur)
• Pictures of example final, stat sheet, and cost analysis sheet
