6th Grade Integer Timeline Project



6th Grade Integer Timeline Project

 

What is this project?

You will be creating a timeline that uses events prior “now” and imagined events in the future. You will be labeling them with years as well as integers.

When is the project due?

This project has been handed out on January 13th or 14th and will be due Friday, January 22nd

What do I need to do to receive the most points possible?

• You need to find any 5 events that occurred prior to RIGHT NOW. Since these events happened before this school year, they will be your negative events. (you can use 2015 or 2016.) On the number line, you need to label both the year that they happened and a number that corresponds to the year.

• You need to imagine 5 events that will happen in the future. These will be your positive events. On the number line, you need to label both the year that they will happen and a number that corresponds to the year.

• You need to include “6th grader at Del Mar” on your timeline. This will be the zero on your timeline. Please label it with a “0” as well as the year.

How do I figure out what number corresponds to the year?

• To figure out which number to assign to the year, start at “now” (zero). If you were born in 2003, that would be 12 years ago, or (– 12). If something happened in 1995, that was 20 years ago, so it should have a (–20). If you predict you will graduate high school in 2021, it should be a (+6).  You may use events from your own life or family, or significant events from history. Your predictions should be reasonable and not science fiction!

How should my timeline look?

• Your timeline should be very neat and in pen or marker. I will NOT accept a piece of notebook paper turned in with pencil writing. Put some time into this please. Include some type of illustration (colored) for each event. Some students have included snapshots and/or clip art. This makes it look very nice!!!

• Remember that this is a number line. Therefore, you should have a line for every number. You need only to plot the numbers for which you have corresponding events and years. The years should be spaced relative to the time passed. (The distance for showing 4 years should be double the distance for showing 2 years.) Think: equal intervals!

• The timeline needs to be on poster board paper or construction paper. It would be best to use the paper given to you in class! This is not a poster. It should be a long sheet of paper.

How much is this project worth?

This project will be worth a total of 25 points.
