Scale Drawings

The Grade 7 standard that involves scale drawings is an application of  proportional reasoning while it also sets the stage for similarity addressed in Grade 8 (CCSS 8.G.A.4). The following lesson contains a team project that requires students to generate scale drawings of a bedroom and selected furnishings in their assigned floor plan. Students collaborate as a team to determine an appropriate scale that can be easily used by all members and produce drawings appropriate for display on their team poster. And they have tons of creative fun in the midst of the critical thinking required for task completion. Resources are included for scaffolding as needed.
