5th Math CCSS STEM Performance Task: Play-Area Pavers
This CCSS Performance Task is a four part task modeled after Smarter Balanced test questions. Students engage with four questions which build upon one another under the guise of developing the pavers a fast-food restaurant chain will use to remodel the playgrounds at their locations.
The fourth task in this activity can also be used to assess concepts about coding that students may have learned through a STEM initiative, but prior experience with coding is unnecessary for success in this activ

Teaching style
HANDS-ON! I love integrating technology and use an Interactive White Board non-stop. I had an opportunity to teach in a 1:1 iPad classroom for a year and loved it! I spend as little time as possible lecturing. We're almost always creating, experimenting, viewing, observing, manipulating, role-playing, and discovering.
