As part of our aim in maths, measurement, Mr Billings set us a task. We had to design a house! He shared a doc with us that showed the minimum of what we had to have in our house:
1 Living room
1 dining room
1 Kitchen
1 bathroom
1 laundry
2 bedrooms
A hallway of some sort to join rooms together.
After we drew it out on a draft we drew it out on a piece of gridded paper. We showed our working out on another piece of paper. We finally had to work out the final area of our house. It was really fun, though it took a few weeks to make! Mr Billings also set another challenge for us - to use triangles! Just to make it easier for us, he taught us how to work out the area of a triangle. But the biggest challenge
he set, which was for the very good mathematicians, was to use circles! As much as I would love to learn how to work out the area of a circle, I don't think I would like to learn it just yet.
