Students used Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP) to Design a Park. This park needed to maintain given specifications in size and components. By doing this exercise the children were able to apply mathematical concepts to a "real world" problem. Every part of the park had to include measurements, all taken using GSP. The final results displayed the students' creativity while adhering to mathematical requirements.
