Shawn Fausey EDUC 518 Performance Task # 1

1 - set up your wiki and invite me to participate 2 - decide on the topic of your performance task - choose from a chapter in your text you have for this class 3 - Using the objective or topic you chose for your task, create your enduring understandings and essential questions for the task. 4 - find and write the NCTM standards that relate to your task and essential questions

**Topic:** Area & Measurements

Enduring Understandings: 1.) Students will understand that measurement describes the attributes of objects or events. 2.) Students will understand that quantities of area and perimeter are important quantities that can be measured and interpreted to help solve problems.

Essential Questions:

1.) Why is it necessary to make measurements in the world we live in? 2.) Why do we measure area, surface area, and perimeter etc.? 3.)What professions or people make measurements of area, surface area, and peimeterr? 4.) Why do I measure? 5.) Why do I need standardized units of measure? 6.) How are quantities like surface area, perimeter, area used to solve problems?

NCTM Standards:


 * Measurement: make decisions about units and scales that are appropriate for problem situations involving measurement
 * Measurement: understand and use formulas for the area, surface area, and volume of geometric figures, including cones, spheres, and cylinders;
 * Problem Solving: Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems

Task

Role: Architect The Purpose: Design a Wrestling Facility Audience: NCAA Academic Board Situation: You are an architect hired by the NCAA to design a new wrestling facility for a college wrestling team who has the best academic year in the country. The top NCAA Academic wrestling team will be awarded with a new wrestling facility and your job is to present your design to the Academic board who is paying for the facility. Your goal is to decide on the structure and materials needed for the facility so that it meets the guidelines provided by the NCAA board:

=**Guidelines**= 1. Facility is limited to acres 2. A certain total perimeter of meters. 3. There must be three separate buildings that make up the facility:

1. Wrestling Room for the teams practices 2. Offices & Locker Room 3. Weight Room for Lifting

4. Each room above must have a creative figure and no two rooms can have the same geometric shape for the area taken up. 5. You must have a calculated area of each building that has a total lower than limits of the facility. 6. You can make the sizes of the building as different as you want as long has the total area does not exceed the maximum size allowed for the facility. 7. Your design should be the most cost efficient and you will research the materials needed for each building based on size of the building you create, cost of materials for each building, and the number of players and coaches on a given team. 8. You are only designing the base of the facility and you don't need to worry about wall height and volume. 9. You must also present the final total cost of materials for the facility you used.
 * Each building must have subareas or spaces for materials. For Example in the Office/Locker Room building you will need a certain area for the locker room and a certain area for the office. You must decide on how subareas will be broken up and what materials will fit into each area.
 * You must have a visual or blueprint of your final product that labels all the sides and dimensions you decided on for your facility.
