A couple weeks ago our class made pools for our towns. Do you want to know how we built our pool designs? We'll tell you! First Miss Payne gave us tiles so we could find all the possible designs for our pool. After we found all the possible designs we made a number table in our math journals. Once the table was done we got out our graph paper, and started to make our pool designs. Once they were complete we shared them in math workshop.
Check out Luke's work below:

Around the pools we made non-slip walkways for the kids to be safe. We tried to find the pool design that had the cheapest walkway by counting by 4's because each non-slip tile was $4.00. The cheapest pool was the 6x6. Even though it's the cheapest, do you think the 6x6 would be the best pool design? Or would another be better? Look up at the pictures that 2 of our friends made. (The 6x6 is a square.) Leave any comments below!
