Introduction to Scale Models
Objectives:
Build Scale Models of a Building
Congratulations! Equations International has hired you to research new information discovered by one of their mathematicians. Below is the layout of your job.
In groups of two, you will build scale drawings of a building of your choice. You MUST know the dimensions (length, width, and height) of your building in order to complete this project.
Step 1:
To begin your job, you must choose a search engine to utilize. You may start at Google.com or Ask.com to find your answers. Pick a building that you would like to use to build a scale drawing. Make sure to RECORD where you found the dimensions of your building as you will return to this website multiple times.
Step 2:
Pick a fraction that you would like to use to draw your scale drawing. Figure out a way to apply this fraction to your original dimensions and find your new dimensions of your building.
