Process
***Groups will be assigned at random***
Each group will have a
Designer
In charge of drawing the on-paper draft of the classroom. They will then convert this drawing to the online program.
Researcher
In charge of conducting research to find the cost of materials.
Writer
This person will record all information from the designer, such as measurements, and the researcher, such as cost. This information will then be given to the Presentation Maker
Presentation Maker
In charger of creating the powerpoint presentation.
***All members are expected to show their mathematical work and present the project ***
Part One
This is the main job of the designer, but all members of the group should help. The dimensions of the classroom are 30ft by 50ft. First draw The perimeter of the classroom and find the area. Then you as a group need to find an arrangement to include the following shapes into the classroom. These shapes all represent different types of furniture, such as tables, desks, and chairs.
Square
Triangle
Rectangle
Trapezoid
Circle
A minimum of one of each shape should be included in the space. The more you are able to fit the better your grade will be. Be sure to include all measurements of the shapes sides or radii.
Part Two
We will be using sketchup.google.com. First watch the introductory tutorial videos.
After your group has watched at least one tutorial, click the button below to continue onto the website.
Convert your original sketch onto this online program. Make sure you include any measurements of your objects and the dimensions of the classroom. Make sure you also label all materials you use in your final design. When completed print your design, to be submitted, and save a photo of it to the computer to add to your presentation.
Part Three
This is the main job of the researcher and writer. The cost of all materials must be found. Your strict budget is $40,000. You will be deducted points if you go over the budget. This budget should take in account cost for: drywall, windows, doors, fans, flooring, and other construction materials. Cost for furniture should also be thought about. Every student must have a seat and desk of their own. Websites like ikea.com can be helpful to stay under budget. This cost along with the websites used to find pricing information will also be included in the Google Slides presentation.
Part Four
Create your presentation. Log onto Google Docs create a Slides document. This powerpoint should be atleast five slides long.
Slide One
Title of Project and Group Members Names
Slide Two
A photo of your original blueprint. (You can upload this by taking a photo with a smartphone and emailing it to yourself. If no one in your group has a smartphone, see me.)
Slide Three
A screen shot of your Google Sketch. (If you do not know how to do this, see me.)
Slide Four
Total Cost vs. Budget.
A Reflection on the project should also be included on this slide.
Slide Five

Part Five
Present your Google Slides. You will be presenting to both me and your fellow classmates. The principal will also be asked to sit in on the presentations. Please dress nicely on the presentation day you are assigned. Your grade will be affected by your attire. If you have an issue with this please speak with me privately. Your presentation should be around five minutes long.
