Students follow the following three steps to create your 'wish bedroom'. Task: Construct a diorama of your 'wish bedroom' that can contain any items you wish as cost is no limit. Necessary items need to still be included however so measurements of you current bedroom with its current objects need to be included in initial plans.

Step 1. Make a concept map outlining ideas for your ‘wish bedroom’.

You might like to think about: What objects would I like to have in my room? What materials could be used to make these items when it comes to constructing the diorama? What objects might not fit? What objects currently in my room will I need to keep the same? You will need to use your estimation skills to estimate which objects will fit and which objects will not. Now you need to make a concept map using Bubbl.us a free web 2.0 tool. This will give you the space for brainstorming of all your ideas.

 * What should my concept map look like?

Step 2.  Design a draft floor plan using free online web 2.0 software Gliffy.

This floor plan needs to contain the basic objects you require in your room. For example you will still need a bed, cupboard and light. This floor plan will help you to decide what extra items you will then be able to include in your 'wish bedroom' as you will be able to see how much space is leftover.

Step 3. Make a presentation using 280 slides to demonstrate your learning.

Using 280slides design a presentation outlining your ‘wish bedroom’ designing process. Students are to include samples from their concept mapping, floor plans and photos of their diorama production. The presentation needs to include feedback students have received from peers and demonstrate they have communicated with peers using mathematical language. For example ‘A 2m by 2m spa will not fit in your bedroom because your room is only 3m by 3m and you need to have your bed and your cupboard which together take up more width than 1m leaving no room for the spa’. Also students need to include materials they used on the diorama and the measurements of their actual bedrooms at home and basic items in it for example bed, desk, cupboard, bedside table.

Well Done!!!!! Now you have completed all three steps check out your work on the student examples page.
