The Classroom Makeover Challenge: Math Teaching Guide for Ages 6–12

This 18-page teaching guide helps children ages 6–12 collaborate on redesigning a classroom using measurement, geometry, budgeting, and spatial reasoning. Worked examples, planning prompts, and templates support learners as they measure room area and perimeter, test furniture layouts, compare costs against a fictional budget, and explain how their designs allow safe, accessible movement. Use it before and during a hands-on group design challenge, adapting the numbers and support to suit your learners. Children can develop and compare more than one workable classroom arrangement.
