3.MD.C.6 Measure areas by counting unit squares (sq cm, sq m, sq in, sq ft, and improvised units).

3.MD.C.7 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.

3.MD.D.8 Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same areas and different perimeters.

1.4.a Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.

1.4.b Students select and use digital tools to plan and manage a design process that considers design constraints and calculated risks.

• Day 1: Introduction

• Day 2: Calculating perimeter and area of rectangles.

• Day 3: Creating a layout/floor plan using perimeter and area.

• Day 4: Construction of Tiny House

• Day 5: Present Tiny Houses

Once they have created a floor plan, students will construct their Tiny Houses and present them!

Students will also write a short paragraph explaining what they would change or do differently next time.
