Math Project-Create Own Dream Home-Blueprints and Floor Plan (perimeter & area)
Create blueprints and/or floor plans for your own dream home!!
Your little architects will love dreaming big with this project. Using their imaginations and graph paper, they will create their own blueprints.They will be learning area, measurement and perfecting those problem solving and critical thinking skills. The bonus is they won't even know it because they will be having fun.
This project is very "real life" oriented.
For the younger grades this would be better for the GT students. Or
