Description
I developed this unit as an enrichment activity for the students that showed themselves as proficient in the standards and did not need to review before the state test at the end of the year. The students plan, design, redesign, and build the floor plan of a house to scale while proving that they met strict requirements. The advanced students said that they were challenged but that they had a lot of fun! This can be done in groups or each student can build their own house!
