Living in a BOX!

A box is a short word for a type of container. Modern residences contain our possessions and ourselves! Some people joke about ‘living in a box’! Andrew has drawn some plans for some residences. Unfortunately, he forgot to add dimensions - lengths, widths, height, angles.

Remember, not all residences (or dwellings) are in buildings. Can you think of some examples which are not buildings?

Can your team use the plan to build the residence on the plan. When you have finished building your model, measure it and add the dimensions to your plan. How wide is it? How long is it? What is the height? What are the angles of the roof and walls?
