This project takes the students through the process of designing the layout of the home, drawing a small blueprint, staying within a budget, and then create a final blueprint. All numbers gathered were national average or approximates of building a house, this does not include the price for the land. So if your region has a drastically higher/lower cost of living it may be more meaningful to adjust for your students. Also included is a pre-exploration sheet where you can have them frontload basi

This is a great station activity as it is self-checking. Students solve the problems in each box. The sum of each row and column should equal the "magic" number. This allows students to self-assess their correctness.

A real life application problem using area and perimeter of rectangles including multiplying decimals.
