Area/Perimeter (3MDC5, 3MDC6,3MDD8,4MDA3) Math Challenge
This math challenge requires students to design a new business district for a downtown city. As they add dimensions to their businesses, they must calculate the area of each business and stay under a specified budget. They then must write a letter to the mayor of their city defending their business plan!
Note: This is specific for Hagerstown, MD, but please feel free to modify it for your town!

Paper Airplane Math
Students make paper airplanes in this hands on STEM high interest activity. Students design, edit, revise and test their designs. They then enter two contests the distance challenge and the target challenge. Students measure how far their plane flies as well as find the area, perimeter and surface area of their planes. Teachers set up the area for the target challenge and students see if they can land their planes in it. Students also collect data and determine the mean and median.
