Maths 2014 Extension Maths Programme 2014 Sketch-up This programme is designed to integrate a wide range of maths skills into a fun and creative project. The student designs a new dwelling to fit onto their existing section. The house needs to meet their needs and the needs of those that live there. It needs to meet the criteria (below) and needs to be completed in 3 weeks. The student will need to take real life measurements that they can then apply to their design. eg. the height of a step, a door or driveway. The project will then be presented to the class.

Criteria:

1. Your design must be to scale 2. Must accommodate all practical functions of a home: e.g. kitchen, living etc...  3. Must have indoor outdoor flow 4. Must be created with accuracy using sketch up techniques. 5. Must use real life measurements to ensure that your house has realistic dimensions 6. Deadline: Monday Week 8 (Present your efforts to the class)

Session 1: Measure the size of your section Consult with your family and find out their needs and wants.

Session 2: Brainstorm: Find images of existing designs, to find a style that you like. Draft a plan freehand. Put together your note from the consultation and images that you found to produce something that will help to guide your digital design.
