Scale

Drawing Assessment
Directions:

This will be your final project on the unit of Ratios and Proportional Relationships.
This activity represents your final exam and is worth 20% of your grade for this
unit. You will be creating a scale drawing of a room in your house, and will be
presenting your findings to the class on Friday!

First, you and your group will use one of the measurements from your bedroom and
create a proportional scale drawing on a single piece of grid paper. You will need to
find an appropriate scale factor to do this. (Remember most scale factors are Unit
rates). Then you will make a table with two columns: one representing the actual
measurements and one with the scale down dimensions. The more details and
measurements, the better your score will be. Must have dimensions of all of the
walls and at least three items in the room to receive full credit. Accuracy is KEY, so
double check your measurements, and use your number sense for accuracy.

Poster and Presentation: Once you have found your measurements and created your
scale drawing, then you will display your results on a poster. The poster will
include:
Scale Drawing
Table of conversions
Reflection paragraph
Pictures of actual room for bonus points
The reflections must explain your results, describe what you learned about ratios,
and how ratios and proportional relationships are used in the real-world. The
reflection should be 4-6 sentences, and this is your chance to wow me with what
you have learned throughout the unit.
