Mrs. Taylor's Senior Math class completed a four part "Dream House" Project. During this project they had to calculate the cost to build their dream home. After completing the cost analysis students had to draw and design a blueprint to scale. Part three of the project students had to complete was building a 3-D model of their house either virtual or real life. The final part was presenting their 3-D model to their class with the pros and cons.
