Step 1

Sketch a Map of your Classroom

Sketch a map of the classroom	Sketch the classroom's shape and the location of its walls, windows, doorways, and closets. Students can work alone or in teams.
Measure the length and width of the room	Include the width of the windows, doorways, and closets, and the distance to walls from each side of the windows, doorways, and closets. Round up to the nearest inch (or centimeter). Click here for measurement tips.
Calculate the area and perimeter of the floor	Remember to use the correct units (such as square feet or square meters). You will need this information later for the scale drawing.
