Tiling Estimation for Given Floor Plan
Tile It Right is a hands-on geometry worksheet where students take on the role of a junior construction estimator. Using a realistic floor plan plotted on a coordinate grid, students measure the dimensions of each room, calculate the area of rectangular spaces, and estimate the total cost of tiling the entire apartment based on a per-square-foot rate.
This interactive worksheet strengthens students’ understanding of geometry concepts like area, spatial reasoning, and real-world application of math in fields like architecture and interior design. As students enter correct values, rooms on the floor plan get “tiled,” providing visual feedback and a sense of progress.
🔍 Key Features:
- Coordinate grid-based floor plan
- Real-world context: tiling and budgeting
- Reinforces area of rectangles (Length × Width)
- Cost estimation activity included
- Auto-validates inputs with visual feedback
- Perfect for geometry and career connection lessons
Ideal for classrooms looking to connect math with real-life problem-solving and careers in construction, architecture, and design.
Learning Objective
Students will use a coordinate grid to measure the dimensions of rectangular rooms in a floor plan, calculate their areas using the formula for area of a rectangle, and determine the total cost of tiling based on a given price per square foot. Through this real-world application, students will deepen their understanding of area and the practical use of geometry in construction and budgeting.
