Welcome to your maths challenge ‘Bedroom bonanza”.

The brief:

As part of this challenge, you will have the opportunity to design

your perfect bedroom. To do this, you need to decide on your

products, budget accurately and complete the design to fit your

room space.

Your budget is £500 and your floor plan size is 1 piece of A4 paper.

This is obviously not the actual size of the room, but the true scale

is 1cm = 1mm. For example, 30cm width real measurement = 3cm

width on the floor plan.

You do not have to print this booklet, but you can if you wish. All of

the details you need to create your plans can be viewed on this

document through a laptop or tablet. All you need are a few

pieces of paper to create your plans!

In this booklet, you will find:

- The ‘Mathematical Furniture Inc.’ catalogue, where you can

choose the products you’d like in your room and see their

prices and dimensions (sizes).

- A budgeting sheet, where you will choose your products and

calculate your total cost.

- A floor plan, where you will need to decide where everything

will go and ensure that your furniture will fit in your room.

Budgeting Task

Below is an example of how you may wish to set out your budget

plan. You can use this sheet if you have a printed copy, or draw

the table yourself if you are viewing this on a computer or tablet.

Remember you only have £500 to spend, so choose carefully and

calculate your spending accurately!

WHEN YOU ARE CALCULATING, PLACE VALUE IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Remember we are calculating with money, so there is a decimal

point!!

Eg. £39.99 + £12.99 = £53.98

CHALLENGE! Floor Plan

This is a basic plan of your room. The door is in the corner, it is 1m

wide and needs to be able to be opened. The window is on the

back wall.

You must position your items in your room but make sure they all fit

in!

Using a true scale of 1cm to 1mm and the dimensions in your

catalogue, plan out the positions of your new bedroom! For

example, 30cm width real measurement = 3cm width on the floor

plan.

You can use this page if you have printed it, or a page of normal

A4 paper as your whole room if you are viewing this on a

computer or tablet.

Extra Activities

Well done, you have successfully designed your brand-new

bedroom!

Here are some extra activities to consider now you have finished.

1. Oh no! Your brand-new bed has broken! You have to pick a

new bed frame from the catalogue. How does this affect

your total cost?

2. The desk you ordered is out of stock! You can order a

different one for 50% off. How much does your new desk

cost?

3. Your dance mat needs new batteries! The dance mat

originally cost £99. £9 of that is the cost of the batteries. There

are 3 batteries in total. How much does 1 battery cost?

4. It’s your lucky day!!! Mathematical Furniture Inc have offered

you 25% off everything on your next order! You have £150

more to spend. What would you like and how much is it

going to cost you with this offer? (Remember that 50% off is

half price so 25% off is a quarter of the price off / taken

away!)

5. What is the perimeter of your bed? (perimeter means the

length all the way around it – Remember it is shaped like a

rectangle so it will have 4 sides!)
