given the length and width of any rectangular pool. In addition to presenting facts about the rubberized mat, include a design of an alternate heating system that would be more appealing to the consumer. Support all reasoning through sound mathematical evidence. Major Group Products : Presentation of a two-dimensional scale drawing model using rational number measurements that includes methods used to determine the dimensions of the mat and pool. (Could be used as a practice presentation. Requires the use of visual manipulatives that assists students in the Culminating Assessment.) Culminating Assessment (): Multimedia presentation, research summary that includes formula derivation, a drawing used to determine the formula, and an alternative heating solution. All reasoning is supported by sound mathematical evidence. Major Individual Projects : Persuasive essay that demonstrates the use of the formula, shows a drawing for your Scale Model Product, includes the widths of mats for a minimum of two different size pools, shows a drawing of their team’s alternate heating system and justifies why their team’s alternate heating system would be more appealing to the consumer.
