Third Grade visits Makino park for Project Math

Third graders in teachers Yael Newman and Kim Walden’s class visited Makino Park to gather ideas for revisions, additions, or improvements to their playground blueprints they designed in Project Math. Students surveyed the playground’s layout, safety features, and accessibility. As part of the project, students collected and analyzed data about other students’ favorite playgrounds and decided what to include in their group’s design. They investigated the cost of various playsets and identified which equipment could be included within their budget. Students will now make their final plans and scale drawings of their main hub and other playground equipment on grid paper.
