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 £300 and your floor plan size is 1 piece of A4 paper. This

is obviously not the actual size of the room, but you can use this to plan

out where everything will go!

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.

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 £300 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. £25 + £12 = £41.00

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 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. What is the price difference

between your old bed and your new one? (This means take away

the two costs!)

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? (This means take

away £50 off a different bed!)

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?
