Lets Get The Job Done!

You are a landscape architect team and your company has been asked by the city of New York to redesign a section of Central Park. The city requests that the park include many natural areas, as well as picnic areas, a playground area, and open areas for family activities such as games, kite-flying, or Frisbee throwing. The city and all its tourist are relying on your creativity to make their park functional and comfortable.

Standards:

CC-MA-2010.8.EE.5: Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
CC-MA-2010.8.EE.6: Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
CC-MA-2010.8.F.1: Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.1
CC-MA-2010.8.G.1.a: Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:
CC-MA-2010.8.G.2: Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
CC-MA-2010.8.G.4: Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar twodimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.
CC-MA-2010.8.G.7: Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.
CC-MA-2010.8.G.8: Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system.
CC-MA-2010.8.G.9: Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
CC-MA-2010.8.SP.4: Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects.
US-CC-ELA-2010.8.L.3: Use knowledge of language and its conventions when writing, speaking, reading, or listening.
US-CC-ELA-2010.8.L.4: Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words or phrases based on grade 8 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.
