Description

Engage students with a real world math project as they design a dream house using area, perimeter, and scale. This STEM activity helps students apply geometry concepts to real-world planning, measurement, and design.

Take your Dream House project and ramp it up a notch with this 21st Century Math Project! A staple experience of math classrooms across the country, this take on the Dream House project focuses on Area, Perimeter, and Scale skills. Students are scaffolded conceptually and mathematically by the time they are asked to design their own Dream House!

In this product, you will receive a 48-page PDF which includes: 3 different assignments, 1 project, and charts and necessary attachments. ***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A GOOGLE SLIDES INTERACTIVE VERSION INCLUDED. REDOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE IT ALREADY***

****THIS FILE NOW CONTAINS A METRIC VERSION****

- In “Apartment Renovation," students will familiarize themselves with architectural symbols, scale, area, and perimeter calculations.

- In “Design a Kitchen,” students will measure scale drawings and be introduced to some simpler building codes. They will conclude by designing their own code-compliant kitchen scale.

- In “New Home Builder,” students will be asked to appraise the value of houses based on the square footage of their blueprints. They will use Nearby Home Sales to estimate the new home's worth!

- In "Dream House," students will put their practice to use by designing their own dream house. Several handouts make this more convenient.

This was a great project for the last weeks of school. I was so excited to see how my 7th grade Pre-Algebra class applied their skills and showed their creativity! Thank you.

My students did not enjoy all aspects of the project. Some of the code pages and kitchen designs were complicated and they gave up quickly. I was excited about the activity but did not get the same reaction from my students! Overall still a great resource for project learning.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS6.G.A.3

Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

CCSS7.G.A.1

Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

CCSS7.G.A.2

Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.
