Yesterday we started the Dream House Project. Each student has been given the mission to design a floor plan of their dream house for them and a friend. The SKY IS THE LIMIT! We will be using our understanding of area, perimeter and surface area to fill the house with carpet, tile and paint.
The final project is due on Tuesday, April 17th for 1st Period Pre-Algebra and Wednesday, April 18th for 8th Period Pre-Algebra. The final project must include: rough draft, graph paper floor plan (with color) and planning sheets.
Thursday, April 12th we will be going to the computer lab to check out online sites for carpet, tile and paint prices to use in their houses. The sites that are allowed to be used are on the back sheet of the planning packet.
This project is being used from Teachers Pay Teachers and I am very thankful to Lauren for such a great project. I can't wait to display our houses in the hallways at CMS!
