Scale & Stage!

This lesson provides students the opportunity of creating the floor plan of a stage for a future school play. The students will use scale ratio and proportions to find the size of scaled geometric shapes. Then, students will create a scale drawing of the objects required on the stage. Finally, students will reason and compute the size of the actual stage.
