A Floor Plan of My ClassroomLESSON

8�2

Date Time

When architects design a room or house, they usually make two drawings. The first drawing

is called a rough floor plan. It is not carefully drawn. But the rough floor plan includes all of

the information that is needed to make an accurate drawing. The second drawing is called

a scale drawing. It is drawn on a grid and is very accurate.

Rough floor plan for a bedroom Scale drawing for a bedroom

(1 grid length represents 1 foot.)

1. What information do you need to draw a rough floor plan?

Sample answer: You need the dimensions ofthe walls, windows, and doors. You also needto know the shape of the room.

Architects use these symbols

to show windows and doors:

2. Make a rough floor plan of your classroom in the space below.

Ask students to find the median of the estimates for the longer and shorter sides. Record them on the board. After students measure the classroom, compare the median estimates with their actual measurements.

� Making a Rough Floor Plan PARTNER ACTIVITY

of the Classroom(Math Journal 2, p. 224)

Tell students that they are going to make a rough floor plan of the classroom. They will then use the rough plan to make a very accurate drawing of the classroom called a scale drawing.

This is an introduction to scale drawing. Students will do additional work with

scales in Fifth and Sixth Grade Everyday Mathematics.

Ask students to look at the two drawings on journal page 224.

� The first drawing is a rough floor plan of a room. It is not carefully drawn, but it does include all of the information needed to make an accurate drawing.

� The second drawing is a scale drawing for the same room. It is drawn on a grid and is very accurate.

Have students discuss with their partners the information needed to make a rough floor plan of the classroom. They list this information in Problem 1 on journal page 224 and then sketch a rough outline of the classroom in Problem 2.

With students’ help, draw a simple, rough floor plan of the classroom on the board. Students should add refinements to their own sketches as you add them to yours.

1. Draw the walls and show the doors and windows. (See Figure 1.)

2. Show the symbols commonly used to represent doors and windows and add them to the sketch. (See Figure 2.)

3. Give a measurement assignment to each partnership. For example, one pair of students measures the total length of a wall; another, the width of a window or door opening; another, the distance from a corner to a door or window; and so on. Ask students to make their measurements accurate to the nearest foot and to record them on the board sketch using two-headed arrows. (See Figure 3.)

4. With the class, check the reported measurements:

� The sum of the lengths of wall sections, windows, and door openings along each wall should be close to the total length of that wall.

� Opposite walls should have nearly equal lengths (assuming the floor is rectangular).

Ongoing Assessment: Informing Instruction

Watch for students who note that the opposite walls of their rectangular

classroom do not have the same length due to rounding to the nearest foot.

Have students revise one of the measurements so that they have equal lengths.

� Making the Scale Drawing WHOLE-CLASS ACTIVITY

(Math Journal 2, pp. 224 and 225;

Lesson 8�2 667

Write “Scale: 1 _ 4 inch represents 1 foot” on the board, and ask students to copy this onto the journal page. Tell them that this is the scale they will use in their scale drawings. Ask:

● How many small square sides are needed to represent a 6-foot wall? 6 A 2 1 _ 2 -foot door opening? 2 1 _ 2

● On the scale drawing, what would be the length of a 14-foot wall? 14 small square sides, or 3 1 _ 2 inches

The class now has all the information needed to make the scale drawing. If you wish, use a transparency of a 1 _ 4 -inch grid (Math Masters, page 443) to make the scale drawing of the classroom as students follow your lead on journal page 225. Remind students that the length of 1 grid square ( 1 _ 4 inch) represents 1 foot of actual length.

After students have completed both the rough floor plan and the scale drawing of the classroom, ask the following questions:

● When would someone want to make just a rough floor plan of a room? Sample answer: shopping for furniture

● When would someone need to make a more accurate scale drawing? Sample answer: remodeling a room

To explore measuring to the nearest foot, have students cut out the “foot-long foot” on Math Masters, page 251 and use it to measure objects or distances. Have students record their work in a Math Log or on an Exit Slip.

Discuss why it is important to avoid overlaps or gaps while measuring and how having the 1 _ 2 -foot marking helps to determine the nearest foot.

To apply students’ understanding of scale drawings, have them make scale drawings of their bedrooms on Math Masters, page 252. Students then make a scale drawing

of the bird’s-eye view of each piece of bedroom furniture on Math Masters, page 253. Then they cut out the drawings of the furniture and tape them in place on the scale drawings of their bedrooms.

Ongoing Assessment:Recognizing Student Achievement

Use Math Boxes, Problem 1 to assess students’ ability to find the

perimeter of a figure. Students are making adequate progress if they are

able to find the lengths of the sides and add the measurements to find

the perimeter. Some students may be able to write a number model that

includes parentheses. (2 ∗ 4) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 14 cm

� Julie’s dollhouse is a scale model of her actual house.

� My thermometer has two scales (Fahrenheit and Celsius).

� My ruler also has two scales (U.S. customary and metric).
