Dream House: Design, Build, Calculate
Year 7 Mathematics Project Design your perfect home using real maths! From floor plans to 3D models
WALT: We Are Learning To
Design floor plans using scale and measurement Calculate areas of composite shapes Apply mathematical skills to real-world problems Work collaboratively as architects and designers
Room Exploration Activity
Measure our classroom using tape measures Create a human-sized floor plan with masking tape Walk through different room layouts Estimate vs. actual measurements challenge
Understanding Scale in Architecture
Scale shows how drawings relate to real life 1:100 scale means 1cm = 1 meter in real life Architects use scale to fit big houses on small paper We'll use 1cm = 1m scale for our dream houses
Week 1 vs Week 2 Overview
{"left":"Design and calculate floor plans\nMeasure areas of different rooms\nCalculate flooring costs and budgets\nUse graph paper for scale drawings","right":"Build 3D cardboard models\nCreate furniture and decorations\nPresent dream houses to the class\nReflect on mathematical learning"}
What Makes a Dream House?
Think about your perfect home... What rooms would you include? How big should each room be? What's your budget for flooring?
Mathematical Skills We'll Master
Calculating area using length × width Finding perimeter by adding all sides Working with composite shapes Converting between units (cm to m) Budgeting and cost calculations Using decimals in real contexts
Flooring Materials Challenge
Examine different flooring samples Research costs per square meter Calculate total costs for different rooms Compare budget vs. luxury options
