With a partner, you will create "THE ULTIMATE CLASSROOM LOUNGE." You will use chart paper, marker, a ruler, (and Gr 8s: a compass). Your mission is to design a lounge with areas that the whole class will enjoy.
1: Draw the room.
2. Divide it into subsections. These subsections must have at least one triangle, parallelogram, rectangle, trapezoid, (Gr 8 only: at least two circles. These must be drawn with a compass.)
3. Now calculate the area of each subsection, then calculate the area of the entire lounge. Show your work on a lined piece of paper. This will be handed in.
4. Once all lounges are finished, we will vote on the winner! We will then switch lounges with another group, and double check their calculations to ensure they are right.
