Partition the Flag

In this Math and Social Studies Civics lesson plan, students will use their mathematical knowledge of fractions as equal groups, and knowledge of wholes, and fourths. Additionally, students will use two interrelated symbols representing Florida, to design a new Florida State Flag into four equal parts. Students will discuss and reason why Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the Florida Everglades were chosen as symbols of Florida, and brainstorm other possible symbols that could be used based on their personal experiences. As students design their flag, they will determine the best way to partition the rectangular shape into fourths, so that the four areas are equal-sized parts.
