Go to the Internet and search for county fairs to get some ideas about how they have been designed.
Make a tentative plan for how you would set up the space for the fair. What things do you need to consider? What attractions will you include? What services do you need to provide?
Then make a list of mathematical processes that you would need to use to figure out all the details of your fair.
Lesson 1
Assignment:
Now that you have refreshed your memory on basic math, you are ready to tackle the task for this module.Here are some step-by-step instructions to help:
Go to the Internet and search for county fairs to get some ideas about how they have been designed.
On your graph paper decide what 1 square will equal.Remember you need to represent about 20 acres. Each acre is 660 feet by 66 feet.An acre is also equal to 43560 square feet.That is what you would get if you multiplied 660 x 66. To figure this out:
Make a large rectangle on the graph paper you can then count the squares across and divide that number into 43,560.This will tell you how much each square equals.
Now mark on your graph how many feet each square equals.
Draw an outline of the outside of the 20 acres.
Now you will need to decide where you would like to put the following events.You might want to move them later but this will help you get an idea of how to use the space you have.Draw an outline around each space and label it.
Food Concessions
Carnival Rides
Animal pens and judging
Craft and event shelters
Games
Parking
