Task

Students will have to complete various problems dealing with perimeter on an interactive site and in a video. Along with this, a student will design a floor plan, calculate the perimeter of it, and answer problems pertaining to the created floor plan! ALWAYS SHOW YOUR WORK! :)

You will need:

Pencil

Perimeter MathQuest Handout

Floor Plan Handout

Computer

Graph paper

Colors/Markers

 

Process

1. Go to perimeter explorer web page and practice finding the perimeter of different figures. Here, you will brush up on Perimeter, and practice some problems before you start drawing the floor plan of your new house! First, complete all of perimeter handout questions. Record your answers and work on the Perimeter MathQuest Handout.

2. Next you will watch the video and complete the short interactive games and activities. Don’t forget to record your work and answers on the Perimeter MathQuest Handout when asked to answer problems!

3. Now, you will sketch a floor plan for your dream house on graph paper. Your floor plan must have at least 5 rooms (kitchen, living room, bathroom, and 2 bedrooms). Note that each square on the graph paper represents one millimetre. Be sure your rooms are a reasonable & realistic size (a bathroom will need to be large enough for a shower, toilet, and sink). You are allowed to use other regular polygon shapes to create your floor plan. Click HERE to view an example of one. DO NOT USE THE EXACT SAME MEASUREMENTS OF THE EXAMPLE.

4. After your floor plan is finished, you need to be able to sell your house. To sell a house, your buyers need to know how much is the perimeter of it. Complete the steps on the Floor Plan worksheet given to you to work you through. Oh, and show your workout!

5. Now, using your floor plan, complete the 2 questions on the online handout.
