Let's get some bright ideas goingLet's get some bright ideas going
Your project is:
The purpose of this
project is to use your knowledge of scale drawings to create a floor plan of
our math classroom.
This project is due:
Friday, March 24, 2005. No late assignments will be
accepted due to Easter vacation.
A floor plan is an overhead view of a room
that shows the room’s objects smaller.
You must use a scale. When
you use graph paper as the room you set up the scale so that
1 box = _____ amount. For example, you could say 1
box = 1 ft or
1 box = 6 inches.
To decide your scale you
need to look at your real measurements.
Let’s say the room measures 24 feet by 50 feet.
You then look to see how many blocks are on the paper and decide how
many you need to use. Let’s say there are 10 boxes across the page, so we
would make 1 box = 5 feet OR 1 box = 3 feet.
Then make sure that scale fits going up the page. Let’s say that
going up the page there are 25 boxes. Both
scales fit, but using the 1 box= 3 feet allows us to use more of the paper.
You are going to do a floor
plan of a math classroom using our room as a guide. Round to the nearest half-foot.
(1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and so forth)
Measure from a top view only.

to show the door on the plan.
ü
You must use at least:
o
1 teacher desk
o
16 student desks
o
1 file cabinet
o
2 computer desk
o
2 tables
ü
1 computer must be near Mrs.
Herron’s desk
ü
2 student desks must be next to
each other near a file cabinet
ü
Nothing can block the door
ü
1 student desk must be to the
right of the door
ü
No more than 3 student desks may
be touching
ü
You must make an outline to show
the room’s borders
Extra credit: for 20 bonus points, make another floor plan using the same specifications yet is different!
You may want to cut out
shapes and move them around until you find a design you like, or you can draw in
pencil and then neatly erase.
