Building the zoo!
Part 1 – Building animal enclosures
Zoo keeper Ted needs your team to build different
animal enclosures for his animals. Look at the Zoo
Map to see where each enclosure will go.
This is a big task! Zoo keeper Ted needs you and your partner to work as a team!
Student 1 will design the enclosures for the lions and elephants, and Student 2 will
design the enclosures for the giraffes and monkeys.
Look at the table below to see the space and angles different animals need.
Animal Area they need to be comfortable
Angles they need in the shape of their enclosure
Lion 20 square meters (15m2) At least 4 right angles
Giraffe 26 square meters (26m2) At least 6 right angles
Monkey 15 square meters (15m2) At least 5 right angles
Elephant 24 square meters (24m2) At least 7 right angles

Your team’s mission: Design your enclosures so that zoo keeper Ted’s animals
will be comfortable!
1. Have your Evaluation Page open on the computer so you can constantly
check that you are on the right track.
2. Use the grid paper on the following pages to design a draft of each enclosure.
Student 1 must draw their draft enclosures using a red pencil
Student 2 must draw their draft enclosures using a blue pencil
Confirm the area of the enclosure and the number of angles in the
enclosure in the space provided
Once the draft enclosures have been drawn, swap designs so that you
can check your partners work
Use the Checklist Sheet to make sure your partner’s enclosures meet
all the requirements
If your think your partner has not met all of the requirements, use your
coloured pencil to adjust their enclosure plan so that it is correct
(describe the changes you have made in the space provided)
When you have handed the drafts back to one another, check your
plans to see if any changes were made. If there were, have a look and
see why they were made and if you think it was the right choice
Once you have evaluated that your plans meet all the requirements,
draw your final enclosures on the Final Animal Enclosures Map
using your coloured pencil
You can use either your original draft or a draft that has been edited by
your partner – Use whichever draft YOU think meets all the needs of
the particular animal best
Don’t forget to write your units down the bottom (What does 1 square
equal? Look at your drafts to see how the units were communicated)
