Introduction
You just received the most amazing
news ever! A local art gallery saw all of
your art work down at the local art fair. The
gallery has offered you $30,000 for all your
pieces. You have decided to use the money
to design and furnish your bedroom.

TASKYou have a fun job ahead of
you! You are allowed to spend as
much of the $30,000 as you want
on designing your DREAM
BEDROOM! Your parents are
waiting to see your presentation on
your bedroom design.

THEMEThe first thing you should do
is decide on a theme for your

SHOPPING
Now it is time to get down to business!
You have to start making your list of
furnishings that you are going to put in your
room. That’s right! You have to buy all your
furniture, electronics, carpet, window blinds,
lighting, bedding, and don’t forget the paint for
the walls. In the next few slides, you will find
many websites that will help you find all the
things needed to make your room feel like you
are living the dream.

ESTIMATIONAs you shop, you are going to write
down the name and description of the items you are buying. This will be used later while building your presentation. While you write them down, be sure to write the full price of the item. We will
use the full price to come up with an estimated price. Each night we shop, we will have to calculate the estimated total for the items in our room. Why would it be important for us to add our estimated
price while we shop? Write about it..

FLOORING/PAINTDon’t forget to cover your floor. Do
you want the plush feel of carpet or the nice appearance hardwood or tile? Don’t forget do look back at your area worksheet to get the amount of floor coverage you will need.
Who can stand the plain white walls ? Time to spice them up with color. Remember it takes 1 gallon per wall to assure good coverage.Empire FlooringSherwin-WilliamsHome Depot

MATH CHECKNow that your shopping is done, you
will need to total up the actual prices of all your items. Keep the group (furniture, electronics,…) total prices separate for graphing purposes. Compare the original total to the estimated total. How was the two totals similar? Write about it.
HOME
PRESENTATION/TECHNOLOGYNow it is time to organize all your work into a
presentation to show your parents. What does that mean? We need to find pictures and create a detail list of all the items going into your newly designed bedroom. After we complete our presentation, we need to create a blank slide to add our graphs to our presentation.
We will use the Excel program to create a receipt book, that will verify our totals to be accurate. Excel will also allow us to build a few graphs, like bar graphs and pie charts.
