Unit Title: Construction zone Name: Alexandria Choi

Content Area: Math7 Grade Level: 7
CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s):

Geometry [7.G]

Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.

1. Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a
scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

Big Ideas/Unit Goals:

Being able to construct their own home from blue prints to constructing it in the real world.

Unit Summary:

In this geometry unit, we will learn about perimeters, areas, and volume of different shapes and sizes. AT the end of the unit,
instead of take a test, you will do a fun little project. For the unit project, my little mathematicians will use your new learned
knowledge to build your own mini home. You will go from brainstorming and imagining to creating the blueprint of your dream
home. After you construct your home, you will also find the perimeter, area, and volume and write it on a piece of paper,
which you will bring on the due date. On that day you will go to three of your peers homes, and you will find their perimeter
and area to scale.
Assessment Plan:
Entry-Level: 1. Brain storm : For this
entry level assessment you will
brainstorm what your dream house
would look like. You will answer
questions like:
a. How many rooms you would like ?
b. How many restrooms you would
like?
c. What kind of shapes you would use?
d. would you have a game room?
Theater room? An inside pool?
e. How many floors would you have?
Lesson 1 (Teacher Lecture)
Formative: 2. Warm ups : You will have
a warm up before every new lesson.
This will ensure that you understand the
material taught in the past lesson in
order to succeed in the new lesson.
3. Critical Thinking
questions : Throughout all the lessons,
I will ask you multiple critical thinking
question that will challenge the way you
think.
4. Graphic organizer: Creating a
foldable with all the formulas needed in
order to create a successful dream
house blueprint. ( You can find this in
the lesson 3 tab, with pictures).
5. Quizlet review game: ( < click on
the link for the quizlet)
I will create teams in each class. The
team that answers the most questions
correctly, will receive an 5 extra credit
points towards their participation grade.
Summative: 6. Scavenger hunt: (< click
on the link for the google doc) I will put
you into heterogeneous groups. I have
created a google doc for each group.
Each group will create their team name.
The teams will go around the school
and answer each question on the
google doc. The first team that turns in
the worksheet and answers all the
questions correctly wins.
7. The DREAM HOUSE PROJECT: the
house project makes up the biggest
chunk of your grade. Using the
brainstorm and graphic organizer you
will create a blueprint of your dream
home on a big poster. Each floor should
be separated.
You will need to find the perimeter and
area for each room:
- at least 4 parallelograms
- at least 2 triangles
- and either one circle or semi circle.
- write the scale (KEY) somewhere on
the poster.

students show you their answers on the white board.
- Reason/evidence question: Ask a student how he/she and their partner got the
answer.

At the end the students will be challenged to look at oddly shaped figures known as
composite figures. The students will be expected to break up the figures into simpler
shapes and find the total area of the composite figure.

NOTEBOOK, math book, questions from IXL and khan academy, and
the webercise worksheets they filled out for lesson 2. Referring to
the blue print they have created in class, I want them to look at the
different shapes they will be using for their dream house and create
a reference guide for the project.

( For example, I am using rectangles and a rhombus, so I write the

formulas for rhombus and rectangle in the according tab. I am also
using a semi circle, so I write the formulas for a semi circle in the
according tab.)
Directions:
a. When closed, You will write the title and draw example
figures on the front tabs of the foldable.
1. (left top corner tab) Perimeter and area of
Parallelograms.
2. (Right top corner) Perimeter and area of triangles.
 3. (left bottom corner) Circumference and area of circles
4. ( Right bottom corner) Scales for my dream house.

b. Open up the first tab ( Perimeter and area of

parallelograms). Looking at your blue print you should write down
the formulas for the perimeter and areas for different
parallelograms you have chosen. ( no examples needed you
wont have room) ** you should have chosen at least 3

c. Open up the second tab ( Perimeter and area of triangles).

Looking at your blueprint you should write down formulas for the
perimeter and areas for the different triangles you have chosen on
the left side and write an example on the back side of the tab. **
you should have chosen at least 2

d. Open up the third tab ( Circumference and area of circle)

Looking at your blueprint you should write down the formula for
the circumference and area for the circle or the semicircle you have
chosen on the right side of the tab and write an example on the left
side of the tab. [ round to the nearest tenth ] ** you should have
chosen at least 1.

e. Open up the fourth tab (scale for my dream house) and

create a scale for your dream house. Remember it should be
realistic! Using the scale and your blue print find the perimeter
and area of the circle or semi circle, and the perimeter and area for
either a square or a parallelogram inside that tab. Draw a box
around your key.
