In this practice, you are given one CPBL, and you will identify strengths and weaknesses of the project task and design student activities and process of the project using the CIA and CPR design principles.

Case: Your Favorite Oreo Boxes

Context
Ms. Pershing teaches a 7th grade mathematics class. There are 18 students, and there are 5 computers available in the classroom.
Mathematics software can be installed on the computers.

Project
In order to address the standard, “solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume,
Ms. Pershing devised a project, called “Your favorite Oreo boxes”.
In this project, students are supposed to come up with an Oreo box design for each of the two different sizes of Oreo snacks (i.e., bite size and regular size)
The box designs should be economical in terms of its conservation of the contents, that is snacks and storing and distribution of the products.

Example: I think the project task well addresses the academic standard. Dablee (talk) 21:11, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
I think that by specifying the package needs to be a box is too limiting. It should be more generically described as "packaging" (Weakness) Phonebein (talk) 20:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Exercise2: Project Activities

Question: Based on the CPR design principles, discuss how you would design the process and activities of the project and your rationale.
Direction: Click "edit" for this section, and add your answer below. Sign your name by inserting four ~'s.

Example: I may start with introducing the project and grouping students into 5 groups, so that there are 3-4 students in a group based on their initial oreo box design, and then... (I would continue discussing my activity design.) Dablee (talk) 21:17, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
