TRANSCRIPT
Re-Designing a Living Room
Jason Gnegy, St. Johns High School
Introduction:
While you appreciate tie-dye, bell bottoms, big collars, shag carpet, olive green appliances, and all the other fashion and design trends of the 1970’s, a young couple has decided it is time to update their living room from the out-dated décor to a more modern look. The young couple is looking to save money and is quite handy, they decide that they are going to do all the work themselves. They have hired you and your team to design their new living room and let them know what it will cost to transform their 1970’s room. It is time for this young couple to throw out the carpet rake and get up to date!

Conclusion• In this WebQuest, you took two mathematical concepts
and used them to re-decorate a living room. You should have learned, by now, that the concepts of area and perimeter have real life applications. In actuality, all math learned in school has real life applications, some of which is easy to see some of which is not so evident at first glance. Many concepts that you learn in a math class you personally may never use in your lifetime, but someone somewhere is using that math concept in conjunction with a whole lot of other math concepts to do a job. Since at this point in your educational career no one is 100% certain on their life’s path, it is essential to prepare you for the unknown. In addition, learning is not always about the individual concept being taught but rather you may be learning exactly how to learn, and that is the education that you are receiving. Learning does not stop when you are no longer in school.

• See the WebQuest's assessment section for the grading rubrics.
• The number values can be changed to give more or less points. Another variation is to use the rubrics as they are and then multiply their score by a set number (i.e, 2, 3, or 2.5) thus making the assignment worth more points.
