Scale Drawing:



Pre-Algebra Dream House Project

DUE: Thursday, March 29th

You are going to make a scale drawing of your dream house. Hallways and doorways need to be included (use one measurement for hallways and one for doorways). You will pick a reasonable scale and draw an aerial view sketch of your house (like a blueprint). If you have more than one floor in you home include all of the floors.

Graph paper can be helpful in the making of the drawings, but your final picture may not be on graph paper—it should be on a POSTER board (at least 22” x 14”).

On your scale drawing you must include the following:

• Title

• Scale (measurement : actual dimension)

• Data Table

o Dimensions (length and width) of each room in the measurement and the actual dimension. Use one color for the measurement and one color for the actual measurement.

o Calculate the Area and the Perimeter of each room in the measurement and actual dimension. Use one color for area and one color for perimeter.

o Calculate the Area and the Perimeter of the entire house in the measurement and actual dimension. Use same colors as above.

EXAMPLE:

|Mrs. Dinella’s Dream House |

|Scale ~ 1 inch : 4 feet |

|ROOM |Dimensions (measurement) |Dimensions |Area and Perimeter (measurement)|Area and Perimeter (actual) |

| | |(actual) | | |

|Bedroom |2 in x 3 in |8 feet x 12 feet |Area = 6 in ^ 2 |Area = 96 ft^2 |

| | | |Perimeter = 10 in. |Perimeter = 40 ft |

• Label each room with its purpose (master bedroom, kitchen, living-room, bathroom, etc.) on your scale drawing. You will not put windows on your home. A MIMIMUM OF 4 ROOMS!

• Analysis Questions: TYPED and attached to the bottom of your poster, not on the back!

Analysis Questions:

1. Explain why you chose your scale and how it affected your scale drawing.

2. Describe the relationship between the measurement dimension of the area and perimeter compared to the actual dimension of the area and perimeter.

3. RESEARCH: Why are accurate dimensions vital to architecture? Cite at least 2 resources.
