Drawings and similar figures are a huge part of middle and high school geometry. In this project, students create blueprints for a house. They must include the scale and the square footage of the actual house. We are going to add different color LEGO pieces to our creations to understand and become more accepting of diversity. Some of the requirements for the blueprints include 2-3 bedrooms, at least one bathroom, garage, kitchen, living room, and a special feature (like fireplace or walk-in closet). Students must also write a sales pitch for their house that includes the price. I tell them to research the price per square foot in the local area to create a reasonable price. This is how I integrate financial literacy. For this geometry project, we need graph paper, geometry boxes, and art scales. Students need to use websites to create blueprints such as SmartDraw and Floor Planner. The LEGO kit will be used to apply what we have learned about diversity and allow learners to see themselves in their project. How many times do your students ask you, “When will we ever use this in the real world?” This geometry project allows them to answer that question! Students will find and research 5 careers that use geometry. They must find different characteristics about the career such as salary, schooling, and job description. They must also print or draw a picture of each career. I will have my students put all of this information on a poster to show what they have learned.
