G To use the form of an object to create and solve a model.

(Goal)
R You own your own landscape business where you help clients design their outdoor yard spaces.
(Role)
A You have a client who wants to install a pool in their backyard. You must make a recommendation that best suits their lifestyle,
(Audience) wishlist, and space limitations.

Specifications and Measurements

● The client has a rectangular backyard that is 20 m by 30 m.
● The client wants as big of a pool as possible while minimizing their costs.

Other important details:

S ● The client has four children - ages 5, 7, 11, and 15.
(Scenario) ● The client wants to maintain some lawn space for the children to play.
● The client hopes to put a small deck around their pool (if possible).

Your options (see images below):

1) An above ground circular pool (diameter = 16 m) with a depth of 1.67 m
2) A walk-in underground rectangular pool (12 m x 20 m) that reaches a final depth of 1.8 m.

● A picture of how you would landscape the backyard (which pool you would choose and where in the yard you would place it).
You may either draw these pictures by hand and insert pictures or you may create ​original​ drawings using Google Drawings.
● A written statement to your client that explains which pool they should select for their yard and a JUSTIFICATION of why it is
the best choice.
P ○ The following math MUST be included:
1) Calculation for how much ground space will the pool cover (2D Area)
(Product) 2) Calculation for the cost of the pool liner (Surface Area)
3) Calculations for how much water the pool will hold (Volume)

★ Remember your rubric → you need to describe the degrees of accuracy in your assignment and you need to describe how your
solution makes sense in real life.

Molly,
Your mathematical calculations are correct, but you haven’t engaged much with the real-life context of the problem.
You have only vaguely discussed two points of the client’s needs. To achieve at the higher level you need to provide
greater depth to your answers that shows you have though critically about the scenario.

Day 1 (Friday May 29)

1) Create images of how the backyard will look after you install the pool. Be sure to label all dimensions in your picture. You may either draw these
pictures by hand and insert pictures or you may create ​original​ drawings using Google Drawings. Original drawings means you create them from
scratch… you may not copy and paste anything from the internet.
2) Calculate:
a) the area of lawn that the pool will take up.
b) the area of the lawn that will be left for other uses.
3) Based on this work, which pool would you recommend and why?

Which pool do you recommend and why?

I will recommend the rectangular pool because the pool is a bit bigger than the circular pool, but still have space for the lawn.
Day 2 (Monday June 1)

Pools require a liner which runs on all the inside surfaces. ​Pool​ liners completely cover the ​swimming pool​ walls and floors with an impenetrable surface.
The primary purpose of the ​pool​ liner is to retain the ​pool​ water within the ​swimming pool​ and to provide a decorative look
​ he cost of pool liner is ฿75 per square metre.

1) Use the knowledge you’ve gained from our unit to determine the cost of pool liner for both of the pool options.

Once the pool is built, it still needs to be filled with water. The cost of water in Thailand is ฿21.50 per cubic metre.

Day 4 (Wednesday June 3)

Create a written statement for your client that explains which pool they should select for their yard and a JUSTIFICATION of why it is the best choice. You
should explain the math that you have used to make your decision.
(Hint: review your rubric. Make sure that your written statement addresses all strands of the rubric).

I would recommend the circular pool because It is overall cheaper than the rectangular pool. Even though the pool is a little smaller than the rectangular one,
it is big enough to have fun in the pool but at the same time have enough lawn space for the children to play. The cost of the water and the pool liner is
cheaper than the rectangular pool. But the cost of the water might not be accurate because the water might not be filled to the very top of the pool.
