Kevin the koala  needs to come down from the tree quickly and safely.Design and create a slide that can help Kevin get down from the tree before it falls. The slide should reach the top of the tree, about 12 inches tall and have a “bucket” at the end to catch the marble.

Estimating and measuring length in inches.Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Students are given the scenario: You want to start a new summer business while you are off from school, you want to make and sell snow cones at your local playground, but you don’t want them to melt on the walk there. Can you design and create a container that will slow down the rate at which your snow cones will melt?  Criteria include the size of the container and the determination of the temperature.

Students will measure length to the nearest inch using a tape measure. Students will learn the difference between a jump, hop, skip, and slide.
