ProcessActivities:

* If you could built your dream house, explain how many meters it will measure, how many rooms it will have and how much each room will measure .* Make graphic aids showing: 1. house interior design, 2. Metric conversions (cm, dm, mm) of the walls, doors and windows in each room.•Make a model design of your dream house. Use the math process.•Show your results to your classmates.

* Investigate what fractions are, and make drawings where you can represent measurements as cm and mts. And create elements in which you can use operations with fractions.*You can use modelling clay, cardboard/paper, and ribbon to show fractions
