3rd Grade Architects Using Room Styler & Google Spreadsheet (Measurements & Data)

Image
Mrs. Mitchell's (goo.gl/EtZmWM) 3rd graders took on the role of architects and designed their own dream house. They were required to create a floor plan, find the perimeter and area of each room, and find the total cost of their house. Students used Room Styler (roomstyler.com) to create their house and choose the materials they wanted for their rooms (wall trim and floor material). Students also created a Google Spreadsheet to organize their measurement and budget data. Music by Only1dob (Drowning To Succeed) https://soundcloud.com/only1dob
