Makeover, Home Edition Part I

This is the first part of the lesson, "Makeover Home Edition." This lesson is designed to increase student engagement. Students must think critically about fencing in their new "dream" backyard by calculating the total fencing needed. They will choose the most cost-effective method of purchasing their fencing by comparing unit rates mathematically and graphically. CPALMS Lesson Part II (#48967) will concentrate on inserting a pool and patio into this backyard. Part III (#49025) will include the creation of a scale drawing of this backyard. Part IV (#49090) focuses on inserting a window and painting walls inside the house.
