Tiny House Assessment task Name:

Students are required to build a tiny house model which demonstrates their understanding and application of their learning during the unit of measurement.

Students will complete the following:

Year 8 standard:

Complete a 2-dimensional plan of the inside of the tiny house that includes the following:

1. Identify the shapes drawn within the house (must include at least one of each: rectangles, squares, triangles, parallelograms, circles, trapeziums, kites and rhombuses)

2. Apply and use the correct formulas in calculating the area and perimeter of the shapes within the internal house plan.

3. Calculate the amount of space required for each section of the house, plus the furniture included within the tiny house. (2-D: eg.) the bathroom is 5m2)

4. Assess your findings to ensure that they are authentic and accurate representations.

5. Using technology such as Google Sketchup to create an electronic sketch of your tiny house plan

6. Using cardboard provided to build a model which represents your tiny house plan.

Year 9 standard:

Complete a 2 and 3-dimensional plan of the inside of the tiny house that includes the following:

1. Identify the shapes drawn within and outside of the house (must include at least one of each: rectangles, squares, triangles, parallelograms, circles, trapeziums, kites and rhombuses)

2. Apply and use the correct formulas in calculating the area and perimeter of the shapes within the internal house plan.

3. Calculate the amount of space required for each section of the house, plus the furniture included within the tiny house. (3-D: eg.) the volume of the kitchen is 10m3.

4. Assess your findings to ensure that they are authentic and accurate representations.

5. Using technology such as Google Sketchup to create an electronic sketch of your tiny house plan

6. Using cardboard provided to build a model which represents your tiny house plan.
