When we make our roofs they will need

When we make our roofs, they will need an overhang to protect people from rain. The overhangs off 1 meter long on each side so the stone part is 8 meters long how long will the roof be? (the brick slabs) 10 8

Let’s look at another example: 7 5

10 8 7 5 What pattern do you see?

Each side of you roof is 2 meters longer than your walls. 7 10 3 What is the area of this roof? 7

7 Each side of you roof is 2 meters longer than your walls. 21 70 3 10 What is the area of this roof? 7 70+21=91 meters squared

A facade is the decoration on the outside of a building.

A facade can include a front porch to sit on. Let’s make a porch on a Minecraft house.

Simply just put a loop of slabs or upsidedown stairs around the perimeter. Don’t fill in the corners How many slabs are on this porch? 32

A facade can also be used to support the weight of the roof. How many fences are there? 5 x 4=20

If you need 46 blocks for your porch and 20 blocks for your columns how many blocks total do you need for your facade? 16+20=36 Facade F=36

Putting It All Together! About how many blocks does it take to build your house?

Area=55 Walls=128 Roof=46 Facade=36

Area=55 Facade=36 Roof=46 Walls=128 Total=265

The Big Idea: Math is needed to create buildings. Measuring the area and perimeter of shapes are its tools.
