In this activity, students work in groups to estimate the resources needed to paint their classroom. They will measure the area of the classroom walls, research paint prices, and analyze coverage specifications per liter. Each group will calculate the total cost of the paint needed and present their findings, including labor expenses if they did the work themselves. Finally, students will assess the quotes from different groups to determine the best value for money. This project encourages teamwork, practical math skills, and fiscal responsibility.

CBSS example The teacher asks his/her students to estimate the resources needed to paint the class room and calculate how much it would cost. The students would have to form groups and: • Measure the size and calculate the area of the 4 walls in the class room. • Find and note down prices of different types and qualities of paint. • Study the specifications on how many square meters of wall the paint covers per litre. • Make a group presentation of the total cost of painting the room, if the group also should do the work and be paid for the job. • Make an assessment of the “quotations” from the different groups. Students could participate in selecting the “best value for money” option.
