Description

Engage students in authentic, real-world math with this two-week Micro-City Math Project! Students design and build a miniature city while applying key 6th grade math concepts through planning, problem-solving, and creative thinking.

This independent project integrates scale drawings, area and perimeter, unit rates, expressions and equations, geometry, and statistics into one cohesive, high-interest task. Students create a city blueprint, analyze construction costs, design a 3D landmark, interpret data, and reflect on their mathematical decisions.

Perfect for GATE programs, enrichment, early finishers, or end-of-unit projects, or students who need an extra challenge in applying key concepts in an engaging way. This resource promotes deeper understanding while allowing for student choice and creativity.

CCSS6.G.A.1

Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

CCSS6.G.A.2

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas 𝘝 = 𝘭 𝘸 𝘩 and 𝘝 = 𝘣 𝘩 to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

CCSS6.G.A.4

Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
