Using scale drawing, the sixth grade math students selected a color comic strip from the Sunday Times-Picayune and enlarged it to best fit on a white poster board. To do this, they measured the length and width of the comic strip in centimeters to create a grid on the comic strip. They then decided on how many centimeters the comic strip would be on the poster for each centimeter on the actual comic strip, understanding that the entire comic strip must fit on the poster board. They created a very light grid on the poster board, to be erased at the end of the project. They had to make sure that the colors and orientation matched on each comic strip, their chosen one and their creation. They were scored on how closely their creation resembled the original comic.
