For my first quarter math benchmark we were asked to create2 houses.  The class was dividedinto two big sections, there was house A & house B. Then broken down intoeven smaller sections for different floors. Each person was asked to createtheir own special room with at least five essential items the room needed. Forinstance if you wanted to create a bathroom you would need a toilet, sink ECT.

This year, I am in Ms. Thompson's Algebra One class. For our first quarter benchmark, we were put in groups of three or four. My group included Blase, Tariq, and Dylan. For this benchmark, the goal was to create a blueprint of a room with 5 unique items of our own, which mine was the bedroom. We had to measure the items and scale down to create a blueprint that someone would actually be able to use. It took a few steps to get done the final product and post the information and such on druple.

The first benchmark in Ms. Thompson’s Algebra class challenged us to create the blueprints our “dream house” in groups of four.  How does this relate to mathematics, you might ask?  Well, it’s quite simple- we’re designing the blueprints for it, so we must measure out and scale down the objects we would have in the house.  We each had to have a minimum of five unique objects in our rooms of the house (meaning that there can only be one in that house), coming out to 20 total.  The project was very fun and educational at the same time.
