=Tiling the School Assignment Description: =

= Assignment for Students =

The school district plans to re-tile the entire school this summer. They are asking our class to help determine how much tile they need. In groups of three, determine the square footage necessary and the number of nine inch square tiles that will be needed if there is about a 2% waste factor (2% of your final square footage will be added to your final answer to account for contractors breaking tiles and/or broken tiles). Research should be done on the current price of tile and the total estimated cost will be included in your paper. A blue-print of the school's floor plan is provided below. You will scale the measurments from the drawing of each room in the building using a scale that will be provided.

You will hand in a 3-5 page paper that explains, in mathematical detail, the procedures used in coming to your solution. Appropriate graphs, charts, etc will be included in your work to help justify your work. The paper should address the school district as a cost estimate for the services you will provide. //The attached rubric describes in detail how I will grade your paper and performance. You should use it as a guide when writing your paper so that you can satisfy all requirements of the assignment.//
