In this high interest, extensive assignment, students are given a three part project broken into daily tasks. The project is designed to assess the students profieciency with linear equations. They must design a water park on a coordinate plane, identify points, calculate slope, write equations, solve for midpoint, use the distance formula, and explain their results in a reflection paper.
How did this go in your class? Thinking about doing it but only parts (slope and equations of a line). Will let you know. Would like to know what kind of feedback you got from your students and the grade that you had completing the project.

Hi Sara,
I have tried several times to download the water park project but have been unsuccessful. Is it possible to simply email it to me since it is a free download? My email address is jlfosno@k12.carr.org
Thank you,
Janel Fosnot
