Lunar Theme Park Maths Challenge

Last week Year 5 had the job of designing their own theme park on the moon. The children had a budget of £500,000 to set it up and run it for a day. This would then help them decide on admission costs and running of the park. The children worked in pairs or small groups. Their first job was to design it using a criteria for what they were allowed and then use a price list for how much each item cost e.g. a major ride cost £50.000. The final part of the challenge was presenting their parks to their classteacher and evaluating their learning and taking on board on all the maths they needed to know and use to complete the task.
