6th Grade Integer Timeline Project



Integer Timeline Project

 

What is this project?

You will be creating a timeline based on a specific topic that uses events from both before and after your birth. You will be labeling them with years as well as integers. For example, you may choose for your topic to be restaurants, songs, books, celebrities, movies, historical events, etc.

When is the project due?

This project is due May 23rd. If you are going to be out, be sure to submit project before leaving.

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

• You need to find 10 events that occurred prior to your birth. Since these events happened before you were born, they will be your negative events. 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 find 10 events that have happened since your birth. Since these events happened after you were born, they will be your positive events. 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 include your birth on your timeline. This will be the zero on your timeline. Please label it with a “0” as well as the year.

• For each of your events, you must include a blurb of information, the more detail you give the better. DO NOT PLAGARIZE. I WILL KNOW IF YOU DO, AND YOU WILL FAIL.

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

• To figure out which number to assign to the year, start at your birth, “0”. If you were born in 1998, that would be your “0”. If something happened in 1995, that was 3 years BEFORE you were born, so it should have a (–3). If something happened in 2000, that was 2 years after you were born, so it should be a (+2). 

How should my timeline look?

• Your timeline should be very neat. I will NOT accept a piece of notebook paper turned in with pencil writing. Include pictures and tile of event.

• 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.

• Timeline can be completed on PosterBoard or on Google Slides

What else should I include?

• On your poster board or the final slide of your presentation, you must include the distance in time from at least 5 events on your negative integer side, to 5 events on your positive integer side. For example, an even that occurred in 1969 is 36 years from an event that occurred in 2005.
