Area and Perimeter - Project Based Learning in Math

Area and Perimeter: A Real Life Project


This area and perimeter project gets children applying and using their mathematical skills and knowledge in a real life situation.


During this project students are provided with a house plan and a customer brief about how to decorate the house. Students need to fulfil the clients requirements. To do this they will need to calculate area and perimeter, choose items to buy from the catalogue and multiply and add values of money.


These projects are designed to show students how we use maths in the real world. Students love to reading the client letter and working to meet the brief - just like an interior designer would.
