Grades 4: 2D Scale Floor Plan
Architectural Criteria for the Clubhouse Design a scale drawing of your clubhouse at http://www.smallblueprinter.com/sbp.html.
A scale is a proportion between two sets of measurements. When architects draw plans for a house, they cannot draw the plans the same size as the real house, because the plans would be too large. Therefore, they must scale the drawing to a smaller size. Each square in your floor plan will represent 1 foot in real life.
As you create a scale floorplan, be sure that your clubhouse meets the following criteria:
What is the area and perimeter of your clubhouse?
What is the area and perimeter of each room?
When added up do the rooms add up to the whole? Why?

As you create a scale floorplan, be sure that your clubhouse meets the following criteria:
- The total perimeter cannot exceed 48 feet.
- The clubhouse should be no larger than 150 square feet.
- The clubhouse may be any shape.
- Doors and windows must be at least 1 foot apart. Doors should be wide enough that furniture will fit through.
- All walls, doors and windows must be drawn with a 90° angle, perpendicular to the floor.
- The clubhouse should be drawn to scale and should be realistic and reasonable in size.

What is the area and perimeter of each room?

Grades 2: Geoboards Floorplan
Working with interactive computer geoboards make exploring polygons easy for students.

Students can create floor plans by working with interactive computer geoboards. After choosing the best design, they should identify the shapes within it and calculate its perimeter and area.
