Design a House: Area and Perimeter Project (Printable & Digital)

Engage your students in real-world math with this Area and Perimeter Project! In this interactive activity, students design and furnish a house while applying area and perimeter concepts. Perfect for reinforcing measurement and spatial reasoning, this hands-on project combines geometry, problem-solving, and creativity.

Students use grids to draw rooms, arrange furniture, and calculate how much area is covered or available. The project can be completed on paper or digitally using Google Slides, making it a flexible option for both in-person and virtual classrooms.
