Mini-Golf Hole Design Winners

After sending out a survey to parents, students, and educators the votes are in for the winners of the Mini-Golf Hole Design project in Math Literacy.  Students who won the design challenge will receive a trip to a local mini-golf place upon returning from winter break.

Thank you to Adventure Miniature Golf for donating FREE miniature golf games to the top three teams!

Students in my Math Literacy class recently completed their final drafts and presentations for a mini-golf hole design.  Students were tasked with creating a design that was a composite figure with an area less than or equal to 128 square feet (accurate calculations required) as well as shots that required a challenge for the average or expert golfer.

Student Work - Winter 2014

I am continually impressed with the quality of student work in my 8th grade math classes at Challenger.  Students take pride in their work and persevere to solve challenging math tasks.
