=** Ute Meadows Architect Project **= We will be doing this project only for a few days. All work will be done in class.

Objectives: By the end of the project, you will...

 * Find the perimeter/circumference of a square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, triangle, and circle.
 * Find the area of a square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, triangle, and circle.\
 * Use formulas to calculate area and perimeter/circumference
 * Use problem-solving strategies in mathematical situations
 * Utilize technology to communicate and illustrate ideas


 * Task: With your group, you will...**
 * Use the scale model of Ute Meadows to find its actual area and perimeter (using units)
 * Create a design for a new Ute Meadows with:
 * The same area but a different perimeter and...
 * The same perimeter but a different area
 * Be sure you show evidence (either on paper or the computer) of how you found the areas and perimeters/circumferences of shapes in your new designs.
 * Use Gliffy, Google Sketchup, or a comparable tool to create a scaled blueprint of what your new Ute Meadows would look like. (Be sure it's practical!)
 * Create a presentation to "pitch" your new Ute Meadows designs for me, so I "hire" you as my architect.

(Hint: Divide up the work evenly, so each person in your group is held accountable for his/her job and the work gets done on time.)

**Ratio Challenge Problems**
Challenge 1

New School Project I couldn't post this on the the disscusion page. This is for the Tie-Di Bricks inc. I have found a way to post our idea so we can all discuss it and examine it. I didn't add our fence but Bethany's idea should defiently get us a good grade. I'll discuss more on this subject on our discussion page. I'm guessing others are going to use it so I'll make a perosnal Tie-Di Bricks Inc. discussion page. If you have trouble opening the link wikis-email me. Jada S. Hi Tie- Die Bricks. Heres the other document.
