Design a Bedroom on a Budget: A 3D Printable Gifted and Talented Math Project

By Enhancing Enrichment

Are you looking for an extension activity for your early finishers and high achievers? Look no further than this Design a Bedroom Activity. Students will deepen their understanding of decimals, area, and perimeter.

First, they will choose an item from eight different categories (walls, floors, beds, dressers, desks, chairs, lamps, and decorations). Each item comes with an individual price tag, encouraging students to make informed decisions while managing their budget wisely. Students have a budget of $1,000.00 and will keep track of their costs as they add items.

Next, students will cut and fold each item and arrange it in the room. They will calculate the area and perimeter of each element in their bedroom design. Whether it's determining the size of a bed, the dimensions of a wall, or the total floor area, students can apply mathematical concepts in a practical and engaging way.

This activity promotes critical thinking, math skills, and imaginative expression. It's not just about decorating a room; it's about making strategic choices within a set budget and area. Whether it's selecting the perfect rug or deciding between different lighting options, every decision counts!

There are two versions to differentiate for the needs of your students. One includes a 7 percent sales tax. The other does not include sales tax. There are also two different versions of prices. Feel free to mix and match pages as needed.

  1. Budgeting Skills: Students learn the value of money by allocating their budget across various items, understanding the cost of each element in designing a room.
  2. Creativity Unleashed: The blank room canvas sparks imagination, allowing students to experiment with different styles, colors, and themes to create their ideal space.
  3. Decision-Making Abilities: Students make thoughtful choices, weighing the pros and cons of each item and its impact on the overall design.
  4. Educational Value: Designed with the educational curriculum in mind, this tool aligns with math standards and promotes a hands-on learning experience. Students can grasp the fundamentals of geometry, understand the importance of accurate measurements, and apply these concepts to real-world scenarios.
  5. Real-World Application: Practical experience in designing and budgeting prepares students for real-life scenarios where financial planning is crucial.

Watch as students unleash their inner designer while mastering the art of budgeting with this exciting and educational extension activity!
