Description

Your students will love applying their mathematics skills to design an 'Adventure Time' theme park! This task encourages collaboration, problem solving and creativity, as well as fundamental math skills such as addition and multiplication.

In order to design their theme park, students must work with a monitory budget and aim to attract as many customers as possible, meaning they must work together to make decisions about:

  1. The number of rides they will have, as these attract customers but also cost money to build and maintain
  2. The types of rides they will have, as more creative attractions will be more successful
  3. The number of shops they will have, as these attract customers but also cost money to build and maintain
  4. The layout of the theme park, as the pathways connecting attractions cost money to build
  5. The number of car parks and toilets provided
  6. The cost of entry
  7. The most effective form of advertising for the park

At the completion of the booklet, students will have not only designed a realistic and unique theme park, they will have also developed an advertising campaign for their park and developed their communication, problem solving and mathematical skills.

As the only resource required to carry out this activity is square grid paper, it's a great resource for relief teachers!
