Renovating houses?

Hey there bloggers! I'm back and today I will be teaching you how to make a small house. We are making small houses because it's a maths week at our school and each class does something different and our class is making tiny houses! At first, I thought it was going to be really easy since there were steps to read and it had pictures so we knew what to do. We could go in partners or do it on our own, I did it with an amazing person by the name of JEDI! We worked together and did our best when making it. Here are the steps and some photos of what we had to do!

1-Listen, Read and Discuss ALL the instructions. You WILL refer to these as much as you need to.
-We all did this on the mat with the class so everybody knew what they were doing.

2-Create a rough draft of your tiny house and include all items on the requirements list.
Our house was candy themed and there's a photo at the end!








3-Create a final version of your tiny house. There are 4 pages for the Base, Walls, and Roof. Check off each item from the requirement list.
This was the best part because we could to colour and decorate!

4-Record the area, perimeter, and geometric shape of each item from eight of the items on the requirement list.
Jedi and I did this together so it was quicker but for some of them, we got different answers.

5-Record the area and perimeter of the major section of the house (base, walls, roof/ceiling).
We worked together and finished it quickly since there were two people.

6-Cut out each of the four sections of the house and fit them together.
This part was easy but also challenging because it would keep coming off!

7-Continue your design and decorate the outside of your house.
We also enjoyed this part because we got to decorate it however we wanted.

8-Continue your design and decorate the outside of your house.
In the end, we had to reflect on what we had done.

9-Create 3D nets of some of the furnishings in your house.
This was the trickiest one because we had to make them 3d without making them rip.

This was what we did in Maths Week and I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post and maybe you should give it a try and make one yourself!
OUR FINAL HOUSE!

  1. Kia ora Parwin,
    I am super impressed with your blogposts and can see why you have recently been awarded Blogger of the Week in your class. What quality blogposts you are sharing. I am working at another school and they are wondering how they can share their math learning so I am going to show the this post to inspire them. Your Tiny House is fantastic, great design and lots of detail. Imagine if you had a 3D printer at school and could print it out! What part of the process did you enjoy best?
