A Multi-Digit Multiplication

Project

Thank You for Your Purchase! I am so exited for your students to have the opportunity to build their own resort! This project should take several days to complete, and you can use it in chunks as you teach different multiplication strategies, or use it as a

final project or assessment. Your kids are going to love it, and the possibilities are endless! I spent a few days considering how I wanted to

engage my students in practicing multi-digit multiplication, and was inspired by my husband, who manages hotels for a living. This is real

world, folks!

Follow the directions closely on the page. Your students will need to use scratch paper to complete all of their work. **If you want to make it

easier to grade, do the first page of the resort report together so that you all have the same number of room types.** Then, check student work

daily. One mistake is a HUGE mistake in their Resort Report.

The last page of the packet has extension questions. Use these for early finishers or for further enrichment. Some of them are quite challenging. You could also have your students take this into writing and create more

details about their resort, create a brochure, a persuasive paragraph about why someone should stay at their resort, etc. Another idea is to have your

students research actual hotels/resorts in your area for background information.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] .

I have many, many more math projects and task cards at my TpT Store. Come take a look!

Resort Report Congratulations! You have just been put in charge of building a new resort. Your boss has

given you a few guidelines to follow when setting up your resort, and you must give him a full report on how many items you purchase for the hotel and what the total cost will be before he approves the building to begin. Have fun and read the directions carefully so that your

resort report is correct and your resort will be approved for building!

Resort Overview Name of Resort: __________________________ Location: ________________________________

What makes your resort unique? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Room Types

Decide how many of each of the following room types you want your hotel to have. You must have a MINIMUM of 100 rooms total, and at least ten of each type.

One Bedroom

One Bedroom #2 Basic Room Two

Bedroom Features of the Room

1 bed 1 sofa bed

Kitchen 1 bath

2 beds 1 sofa bed

Kitchen 1 bath

1 bed 1 bath

4 beds 2 sofa beds

3 baths Kitchen

Number of People 4 6 2 12

Total in your hotel


Resort Report Page 22

Use the Room Types chart from page one to help you with the report tasks below.

Resort Statistics

How many rooms total do you have? (A two bedroom counts as TWO rooms, so 6 two bedrooms = 12 rooms)

How many guests total can fit in your hotel?

How many beds are in your hotel?

How many sofa beds are in your hotel?

How many bathrooms are in your hotel?

How many kitchens are in your hotel?

Reflect Before you move on, reflect on your data above by answering the following questions.

1. Suppose your resort was a major hit and you were asked to built 25 resorts

throughout the world. How many bathrooms would you build total?

_________________

1a. How many guests would those 25 hotels fit?

2.  Suppose your boss asked you to triple the size of your resort. You need to have three times as many sofa beds as you have now.

How many would you need?

Outfitting a Resort Room Part 1 It’s time to start figuring out how much you need to buy! Every room, no matter the size, needs some specific items. Use your Resort Statistics page to help you. In the data chart, write the equation you used to find the answer on the first line, then write the total on the

second line. Show your work on a separate sheet of paper. Remember that a two bedroom counts as TWO rooms!

Room Needs

Item Number PER

room Total Number

Needed Cost of each

Coffee Table 1 $547

Painting 2 $178

Coffee Maker 1 $29

Hangers 12 $2

Telephone 1 $63


Outfitting a Resort Room Part 2 This time you are finding what you need for each bedroom in your resort. Use your Resort

Statistics page to help you. In the data chart, write the equation you used to find the answer on the first line, then write the total on the second line. Show your work on a separate sheet of paper.

Remember that a two bedroom counts as TWO rooms!

Final Resort Report All done! Well, almost. Now you need to give your boss some totals to look at.

It’s time to crunch some more numbers. Add up all your totals from the previous 4 pages to find the total cost for the hotel. Then, add all of your totals to get your final total.

Resort Area Total Cost for Hotel

Room Needs (Part 1)

Bedroom Needs (Part 2)

Bathroom Needs (Part 3)

Kitchen Needs (Part 4)

FINAL TOTAL (Add totals from all four parts)

Reflection Use a separate piece of paper to answer these reflection questions

1.  If you wanted to save money on your hotel, list three possible ways you

could do that. Be creative.

2.  If your boss wanted you to double the size of your hotel, explain the easiest way to find the new total cost of the hotel.

3. There are several major items missing in this report of building the hotel.

Your boss will notice! List at least 3 things you would need to add to the total price of the hotel when presenting the plan to your boss.


Resort Report Rejected! Oh no! Your math was impeccable and impressive, but your boss thinks your resort is much too expensive. Not to mention, you forgot to tell him how much it would cost to actually build each room. Now he wants to know how much the building will cost to

build, and also how much money you will make on each room. You better get to work...

Cost to Built Hotel Rooms One

Extension Questions and Reflection

Now it’s time to think critically about your project! Use everything you have done for the project to answer the following questions.

If your hotel was full every night, how

long would it take you to make as much money as you spent

on the hotel?

It costs $23 in utilities (gas, electric, heat, etc.)

each night to run a room. How much would it cost in utilities to run your hotel for a night?

Your boss thinks you will attract more

customers if you offer a free breakfast every morning. It would cost the hotel $4 per person each day. If the hotel was full, how much

would the hotel spend a day on breakfast?

Think of three more ways you could

make money at your hotel. Do the math and figure out how much extra money each of these ideas

could possibly make.

Explain why you chose to purchase

each number of room type. If you

had to do the project over again, what

would you do differently?

This project shows you just one example of how

you would use math when building a hotel.

Think of at least 3 other reasons you would need math when building or

planning for a real hotel.
