In this open-ended problem, students will work in teams to determine a procedure for ranking pools to help a customer purchase. Students will need to calculate the size and volume of the pool, make decisions based on a table of data, and write a letter to the customer providing evidence for their decisions. Students will need to tradeoff between the size of the pool, the customer service ranking, the type of pool and the warranty of the pool. The students will have to research on the internet the differences and benefits of a salt water pool versus a chlorinated one.
