Subject:   Best grid paper for Building a Playground Project
Author: jlbmagic
Date: Jan 18 2008
Hi.
I'm starting a unit on perimeter and area ( the 6th grade CMP one) and want to
do the playground project.  I am going to have students be in groups of 3 or 4
and want to use large grid paper, chart size, to have students show their
project.

They'll have to use a scale, then show the boundaries of each playground piece,
stating the area and perimeter of each piece.

Which size of grid would be the best?  1/2" ?  1"?  any thoughts?  

Anyone ever done this?  
Thanks
