2nd Quarter Project
Due Wednesday January 18, 2012

In this chapter project you will be required to use an American Standard ruler to measure inches to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.

1. Be aware that the total distance between the starting point and the treasure is 5 ¾ inches. Therefore the map will not measure correctly if you draw the landmarks to form a straight line. This will take some trial and error.
2. Concentrate on making the distances accurate and precise. This is what you will be scored mostly on, not if you illustrate the landmarks.
3. Be sure to include directions on how to follow your map and attach it to the map.
4. Once you have the map measured correctly and the landmarks placed, then follow the directions for the coordinate plane.
5. Be sure to answer the question on a separate sheet of paper and attach it to the coordinate grid.
6. Finally, you may add illustrations.
7. Staple all parts of the project together; map, directions, coordinate plane, and questions.
