Under One Roof: Area, perimeter & Pitch in Scale

Some things shrink differently than you’d expect. Some things don’t shrink at all.

This resource finishes the room from Space Planning and then looks up – to the roof. Along the way, it holds a couple of genuine surprises about how scaling actually works. 

What children/students will learn:

• How area and perimeter behave differently when a space is scaled down 

• How to calculate material needs for finishing a real room 

• The math behind roof angles, and a surprising truth about what does and doesn’t change with size

• Hands-on practice with real geometry tools

Perfect for: Grades 2-5.
