A week-long unit of Maths work, where children have to work with data, area, perimeter, & number, and use & apply all of those to being creative, designing a zoo with as many different animals as possible (housed in sufficient space to meet varying criteria), with pedestrian access to all enclosures but no wasted space. Based around the 'Zoo Tycoon' video game, but made much more mathematical.
I've included a SmartBoard to introduce it, a customisable spreadsheet with the criteria, a linked homework with some word problems based on the zoo, and even a few WAGOLL photos of year 5/6 work (What A Good One Looks Like). This is perfect for the last week of term before Xmas, Easter, or a post-SATs year 6 week of fun maths. Little prizes for the best designs go down well.
The unit is ready to use. All you need is some 1cm squared A4 paper.

Just what I needed to explore percentages in a different way. A great introduction to the project Smart Notebook, a comprehensive spreadsheet which is easily adaptable. Saved me lots of time. Thank you.
