I did some really great things with my Pythagorean Unit this year. Since I don't always have time to blog, follow me on Twitter and you will see everything I do.
Today I wanted to blog about my Math Land Amusement Park Team Task. This has always been one of my favorite Team Tasks. Originally, this Team Task was created as a paper task. A couple of years ago, I made this Team Task into "Digital Task Cards".

Changes to the Team Task This Year
This year instead of having the students plot the points, I created the Math Land Amusement Park Coordinate Graph for the students.
Team Task Structure
In this Team Task, the students took turns being Team Mathematician.
The Team Mathematician would:
- Facilitate the problem.
- Read the situation card to the "Team".
- Use the Amusement Park Key to find the points needed.
All Team Members would discuss and complete the problem as a Team. Each Team Member would do the work on their own graph, and their own whiteboard.
The Team Mathematician would:
- Ask all of the Team Members if they agree before the "Team" enters an answer.

A Blast From the Past
If you would like the students to plot the points for Math Land Amusement Park, feel free to use this file from last year with the coordinates for each attraction.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog... Feel free to leave feedback... :o)
