Description
Christmas Area and Perimeter Map Project
This super engaging project is perfect for the week before Christmas! Students will create arrays of different items that might be found in Santa’s Village in the North Pole. This Christmas Map project is a hands-on way to reinforce area, perimeter, factor pairs, map skills and finding and identifying coordinate points on a graph.
For each item student are asked to record the array(s) used, multiplication fact(s) that helped them, the total area and the perimeter of each item. Some items are a simple rectangle, while other aspects, such as the reindeer barn have rooms within the building. Specifications are given for each room in the building.
Two options of this project are included:
Option One:
*All buildings are given (Santa’s house, reindeer barn, candy shop, etc)
*Units are given for each building and students must create the building to the given specification
*Students will add 3 of their own buildings
*Word problems that can be solved with the map are included
*Graphing coordinate points sheet is included
*Blank sheets for students to create their own word and graphing problems are included
Option 2
*All buildings to be included are given (Santa’s Workshop, elf club house, etc)
*Students must decide how big or small to make each building
*Students add 3 of their own buildings
*Students write their own word problems
*Graphing coordinate points sheet is included
This project can be fully differentiated to fit the needs of your students!

CCSS3.MD.C.5
Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement.
CCSS3.MD.C.6
Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft, and improvised units).
CCSS3.MD.C.7
Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.
CCSS4.MD.A.3
Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor.
CCSS4.OA.A.1
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
