The beginning of this week we have a math project involving a dream house. Students visualized this morning about a time when they have graduated high school, found a good career after college or trade school, became sturdy in their career, built up financial security and had the funds to build the ultimate dream house. Today they drew out a floorplan of their house. Many included game rooms, swimming pools, archery ranges, and other unique rooms. The next few days students will calculate the perimeter and area of each room (some will require great skill, as many rooms are not the basic rectangular shape). Following this, they will select floor samples and molding samples (from actual samples from Home Depot) to calculate the price of flooring/molding in each room. Finally, a total price will be calculated for the entire house's floors and moldings.
