7th Grade Common Core Scale Drawing Assignment
I use this assignment as a quiz in my class. The assignment can be easily lengthened into a project. The assignment allows students to be as creative as they would like, but still forces them to use scale drawing principals. The assignment has no "right" answer but as a teacher you can easily see "correct" answers and gain lots of feedback about your students. I hope your class enjoys it as much as mine did.

PROJECT - Measuring the Perimeter of Your Bedroom
In this project, the student should take a tape measure, ruler, or yardstick and measure the lengths of the walls of their bedroom. They add the measurements and compute the perimeter. Then they ask an adult or older sibling to do the same. Finally, they calculate the percent error based on the parent's / older sibling's measurements. This is a great "distance learning" project.
