Geometry City Project. Term 3, 2020.Materials needed:Cardboard base (ideally large cardboard from TV or similar)Net templates to create 3D shapes (please don’t glue together, but use as templates to make more shapes)White paper to create buildings etc. Colouring pencils/markersGlue/sticky tapeYou may want to use recycled materials (milk cartons, toilet paper rolls, small cardboard boxes, etc.)Planning stage: Plan the layout of your city as a draft in your math book. To help you plan your city, consider the following: - LIVING: Where do people live? In what types of houses?- WORKING & GOING TO SCHOOL: Where do people work? What are their jobs? Where do students go to school?- TRAVELLING: How do people get around their neighbourhoods? Get to work? Travel?- GEOGRAPHY AND CULTURE: History and age of the city? Number of people living there? Climate? Coastal/inland/waterways? 3. You must create a body of water in your city.Creating the city:The transfer the map of the city to the large cardboard. Ensuring that your roads, building, lakes, etc. have realistic measurements. You should use a ruler to measure the base of buildings, roads, etc. Start to build your city UP , using 3D shapes based on the templates provided, or you may choose to use recycled materials, such as milk cartons, toilet paper rolls, small cardboard boxes, etc. Ensure each building has windows, doors, etc to the correct scale. You should decorate the buildings, building faces, or even sidewalks (you could use geometric patterns for this: trapezoid, rhombus, hexagon, octagon, triangle, rectangle, circle, and square).You must include a tessellation in your city somewhere, it could be a pattern in a park, town square, or similar.Please ensure your city is colourful and inviting.Evaluating the city:What is the name of your city?What is the current year in your city? Is there anything you would have liked to do differently now that you have finished the city?CHALLENGE:Choose a scale to use for the buildings, roads, etc. For example 1:100, so that 1cm equals 1m, or you can choose another scale that you find more appropriate. ................
