Agenda Items: -Please measure one room in your house tonight and roughly sketch the dimensions 

-Christmas for Kids 2017 Our annual food, toiletries and toy drive (new items only please) is underway and we will continue collecting items until December 22nd . Christmas for kids is a registered charity in Innisfil that helps families at Christmas

Dream House Project

As we begin our measurement unit, one of the concepts we will be focusing on is area and perimeter. You will now have the opportunity to apply your learning to a real life situation (well sort of); you will design your dream house! If you have more than one level in your house be sure to sketch a rough floor plan for each. The assignment has been split into 4 parts with specific minimum requirements on each part.  Please read the assignment completely before you begin.

Part 1: Room Sketch

·        To practice making a floor plan measure the dimensions of a room in your house or the classroom. Record all the measurements and then sketch the room (from a bird’s eye view)

·         Label all the dimensions

·         Use the following scale 1 cm= 1 m or 1 unit square= 1 m square 

Part 2:  Your dream house requirements:

·         At least 6 different rooms (bath, bed, kitchen, living room, dining room, family room, den, craft room, play room, etc.)

·         You may have more than one of each room (ex. 3 bedrooms)

·         Be sure to label each room on the floor plan

·         You must have a garage (size of your choice)

·         Each square on your graph represents one square meter

·         You must have a least 3 different types of angles and at least 3 types of geometric shapes in your house

·         Bedrooms should have closets

Part 3:  Decorating:

·         Choose at least one room to decorate

·         Draw the floor plan of that room- all furniture and appliances are included and drawn to scale

·         Calculate the cost of flooring for your room – calculate the area 

·         Calculate the cost of paint- calculate the surface area of your room – don’t forget to minus windows and doors

·         Each can of paint will cover 36 m2

·         Average cost of carpet is $10.00/ m2

·         Average cost for hardwood flooring is $17.50/m2 

·         Average cost of high quality paint is $33.50 / can

·         Determine how much money you will spend on decorating your room

Part 4:  Demonstration of math skills:

·         On separate paper, all math will be shown

·         Area and perimeter of each room

·         Calculations of flooring and paint for your room

·         Included the total area and perimeter of your house
