 STREET DESIGN PROJECT
TIME: 3 hours

TARGET AUDIENCE: Grade 8 learners

Identify and describe lines.

REQUIRED PREVIOUS
Identify and find angles.
KNOWLEDGE:
Draw, Identify and classify 2d shapes.

Rulers, A3 paper, pencils , colour pens

REQUIRED MATERIALS:
or pencils, protractor.

Learners will demonstrate their knowledge of parallel lines with a

transversal.

STREET DESIGN PROJECT

For this project, each learner will make his or her own map for a
fictional residential area. This residential area will consist of parallel
lines, perpendicular lines, transversals ,diagrams constructed from
2d shapes, trees and plants.

There are three sections to the project:

1. Section A is a teacher guided activity on Straight line geometry.

This section is marked using a memorandum.
2. Section B is a teacher guided activity on Geometry of 2D
shapes. This section is marked using a memorandum.
3. Section C is an individual learner activity and is marked using a
rubric.

Section A
This section consists of questions on Straight line geometry.

THIS IS A TEACHER GUIDED SECTION

1. Three lines are drawn in the diagram below. Study the diagram and then
answer the questions that follow.

Section C
INSTRUCTIONS
GRADE 8 MATHEMATICS TERM 3 PROJECT 2022 Page 9
 1. Appearance
 The project must be done on A3 paper .
 It must be drawn neatly and in colour.
 Neatly print your name in the top right corner of the project.
 You may add detail as long as it does not interfere with the requirements or
the appearance of the map.
 Make use of the different 2d shapes that you have learnt about to construct
the buildings.
 Remember to be creative.
 Your project must be unique to you.
2. Drawing the Streets
 At the top left corner of the poster, indicate the name of your residential
area and indicate the number of houses in the residential area.
 Draw three (3) streets that are parallel to each other. Each street should be
named for reference.
 Draw Two (2) transversal streets. (i.e., Two streets that intersect all three
of the above parallel streets). These should be named as well. Do not
make the transversals parallel to each other!!!
 Draw Traffic lights or stop signs at four (4) different intersections.
3. Adding the Buildings
1. Your map must include the following buildings.
a. Spaza shop
b. School
c. Post office
d. Police station
e. Bank
f. Library
c. Petrol station
d. Your own house
e. Place of prayer (Church, Temple, Mosque, etc)
2. Ensure that your buildings are drawn according to the type of quadrilaterals
and 2D shapes that you have learnt about.
3. Appropriate building names must be placed on “signs” on or near the
building.
4. Location of the Buildings
The buildings must be placed in the following locations.
1. Your house and the school at alternate angles.
2. The post office and the bank at co - interior angles.
3. The Church and police station at corresponding angles.
4. The library and post office at vertically opposite angles.
5. The Petrol station and Spaza shop at supplementary angles.
6. The Place of prayer and Your house at corresponding angles.

5. Including a Park
In the lower left corner of your residential map, you will create a park.
The park must meet the following criteria:
o The park is a square (side = 10cm)
o Within this square draw a round sandbox with a 4cm diameter.
o Draw a rectangular swimming pool that has a length of 4cm and
breadth of 2cm.
o Draw a pond with a radius of 2cm.
o Finally, draw a right scalene triangle for the picnic area.

6. Additions

GRADE 8 MATHEMATICS TERM 3 PROJECT 2022 Page 10

  You must add 5 (five) other items to your map.
 Some possibilities are, slide and swings for the park, picnic tables in the
picnic area of your park, extra roads, people, trees/plants, cars and trucks
on the roads, traffic signs, a railroad, a bus station, a river, etc
