__ Chapter 11 Area Project __

Description: You are designing your dream bedroom and fully furnishing it with whatever you choose, including flooring, while staying under a budget of $5000. You must draw out your floor plan to scale, to ensure all of your furnishings will fit in your room. You must also calculate how much flooring you will need to buy, including installation. Since you must stay under budget, you must research at least two different companies for each object you put in your room.

Purpose: You will be learning about other real life applications of area formulas throughout the chapter, but carpeting a room is one of the most common ones. Most, if not all of you, will one day need to cover some type of flat surface (floors, walls, yard, etc.), which requires knowledge about area. This project will prepare you with the necessary steps to complete the process successfully. You will also be able to display your creativity as well as your skills of collaboration with your classmates through the use of a wiki, something I will explain during class.

Requirements __ : __
 * Floor plan drawn to scale, including every amenity you want in your room.
 * Calculations of floor area and total amount of flooring needed to cover it.
 * A list of every item you will have in your room (including flooring), along with the names of the companies you researched and the cost of the items (including installation if applicable) from each of the companies (completed on the wiki). Remember, the total must be under your budget of $5,000!!!
 * You must have closet space, a bed, and at least one dresser/bureau/armoire.
 * You must post a comment or question on at least 10 of your classmates’ wikipages as well as respond to all of the comments or questions they posted on your page.
 * You must have all of your work shown on the wiki, all comments on the wiki finished, and completed floor plans turned in at the beginning of class on the date due.
 * A brief presentation of your calculations, research, and explanation of your dream room.
