- Counted the number of water slides in the park
- Measured the height of the water slides using their own height as a reference
- Calculated the time it took to go down a water slide by using a stopwatch
- Estimated the number of people in the wave pool by counting the number of waves and the number of people in each wave
- Used addition and subtraction to calculate the number of tickets needed for their group
- Identified different shapes of water features in the park, such as circular pools and rectangular slides
- Compared the sizes of different water slides by measuring their lengths
- Divided the total cost of the tickets among their group members to determine how much each person needed to pay
Continued development related to the activity:
Encourage the child to create their own water park on paper or using building blocks, and have them design and label different water features with their corresponding measurements. They can also practice addition and subtraction by creating word problems related to ticket sales or calculating the total number of visitors in their imaginary water park. Additionally, they can explore the concept of volume by estimating and measuring the amount of water needed to fill different pools or slides in their water park design.
