Henry's Cabin

This activity, which is not interactive, should engage the students. The students are given a blueprint of a cabin and have to calculate the amount of area that will need to be painted taking into consideration the door and windows do not need to be painted.

One of the activities is to draw the cabin on graph paper using the scale factor given and then create the furniture, using the same scale factor.

Henry's Cabin can help relate the measurement of math that the students need to something real, a cabin.

The thing I do not like about the site is the background used is way too busy. This makes viewing difficult but if you copy the page you can paste it into one note and the busy background goes away.
