Maths Investigation: The Bedroom Design Challenge
Can you completely fit out a bedroom with a £1000 budget? Everything from furniture to toys and gadgets needs to be included. Pupils will need to consider ‘Needs’ and ‘Wants’ and all products should be chosen from the Argos catalogue (hard copy or online)
Extension Activities include the use of various fraction and percentage discount cards. Who can make the greatest savings in the class? There is also an extension sheet in which children have to work out the amount of floor space that would need carpeting.
