FPS Grade 7 Math

Dream Bedroom Project

Background (not really real) Info

Your teacher entered all of the students in your class into the Grade 7 Math Dream Bedroom Contest. Your challenge is to design a unique dream room that would use the $6,000 prize money most creatively and efficiently. You must use as much of the money as possible without going over the $6,000. The best design wins, so good luck! Be creative, and have fun!

Tasks

Use graph paper to make a scale drawing of a standard 15' x 16' room floor plan, with 1 door (32" wide x 6' tall), 2 windows (each 24" x 36") and a closet door (your choice of dimensions). Your room will be 8' tall.
Include the scale used in your drawing
You will need to add the following furnishings (with correctly scaled dimensions) to your drawing, after you find them from your research (step 4):
- a bed
- a dresser
- a bookcase
- a desk and chair
Use the Research Resources to find items for your room (furniture, floor covering, paint, lighting, mattress, bedding, etc.). Do the following for each item once you've found it:
- Record its cost and shipping costs (if applicable) in the Room Costs spreadsheet
- Copy and paste an image of the item in the Shopping Cart file
- For furniture- record its dimensions (width x depth) in the Furniture Dimensions spreadsheet.
Complete the Room Costs spreadsheet to calculate the costs of floor covering, paint, furniture, mattress, bedding and any other items you'd like in your dream bedroom. Don't go over $6,000!
Submit your room drawing plan to your teacher, and save all the required documents in your GR7 DREAM BEDROOM Google Drive folder as directed by your teacher
