Math - Problem Solving


We have been given $5000.00 to design our own bedroom.  Our bedroom dimensions are 3m x 2m.  First we wrote a list of needs; eg. a bed, sheets, duvet and pillows and then we created our wants list.  We have used mailbox flyers and the internet to search out our products, prices and dimensions of our purchases - it is very important to make sure everything we buy will fit in our room.  We have our own expenditure sheets to fill in and keep track of our spending, budgeting is very important.
During this task we have had to measure and convert measurements, add, subtract, multiply, work in decimals and be spatially aware.
