Maths - Tiny House

Over the last couple of weeks students have been completing a challenging, problem solving maths task. The task was called Build a Tiny House, and that's exactly what they had to do while applying area, perimeter and geometry skills. The activity also focuses on using designing elements, multiple problem solving skills and collaboration.

Students had to create a 3D tiny house and allow space for 20 specified pieces of furniture, often using nets that they had to design themselves and then calculate the area and perimeter of each piece.

At times this task has been very challenging but everyone has persevered and as the houses near completion the effort is proving to be very worthwhile - as you can see from the following pictures.

Hopefully by the end of this week, students will have their own finished houses ready and will post them on their blogs.
