Description
This is a volume performance task where the students will have to pretend they are a designer/architect. They will have to build two swimming pool designs to present to a major hotel company. They will have to make sure both pools hold the same amount of water and find the price it will cost to build them. This includes the directions page and the work page. Also, I have my students build their designs and present to the class. This is a great culminating task for the end of our volume unit. (5.MD.3-5)

CCSS5.MD.C.5
Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
CCSS5.MD.C.5a
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.
CCSS5.MD.C.5b
Apply the formulas 𝘝 = 𝘭 × 𝘸 × 𝘩 and 𝘝 = 𝘣 × 𝘩 for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
