Many real-world situations require an understanding of measurement and geometry. As you examined in Week 1, for example, measurement, geometry, and estimation are required to create a parking lot. Parking spaces may be parallel, perpendicular, or angled (such as 45, 60, or 75 degrees). But which arrangement will accommodate the most vehicles and maximize the number of parking spaces possible in a parking lot?
In this Application, you will reexamine the Parking Lot Problem from Week 1 to determine if incorporating angled parking spaces will impact the overall number of the parking spaces in the lot. You also will further develop the mathematical task you created in Week 1 to include concepts of points, lines, planes, and angles.
The Parking Lot Problem Revisited
There has been a change in the parking lot scenario at the CRC. After consulting with city planners, the CRC manager has concluded that angled parking spaces may be easier for drivers to navigate than the 90-degree spaces. Angled parking spaces can only be entered from one direction and drivers must enter these spaces “head-on.”
If each parking space in the CRC lot must now be angled at 60 degrees, how will this new requirement impact the overall number of parking spaces possible?
Solve this mathematical task. As you do so:
•Make note of your problem-solving strategies, particularly the estimation and/or approximation strategies you utilize.
•Create a drawing to represent the new angled spaces in the parking lot.
Then, revisit the mathematical task you developed for students in Week 1 and consider how you might expand the task to include the following concepts:
•Points
•Lines (such as perpendicular, parallel, intersecting)
•Planes
•Angles
How might you use one or more of the technology tools introduced in this week’s Discussion to further enhance this task?
Submit a written response that addresses the following:
•Explain how you solved the Parking Lot Problem Revisited. Include an explanation of your mathematical thinking and reasoning, the drawing you created to represent the new angled spaces in the parking lot, any estimation strategies you may have employed, and whether this new requirement for angled parking spaces impacts the overall number of parking spaces possible at the CRC.
•Summarize your ideas for incorporating the concepts of points, lines, planes, and angles into the mathematical task you originally developed in Week 1 for students. Explain how you might use one or more technology tools to enhance students’ understanding of these concepts.
