Doghouse Design Measurement
🏠 Part 1: Doghouse Planning and Measurement
1. Draw your doghouse design in the box below. Label the length, width, and height with measurements in centimetres.
2. If the front wall is 80 cm long and the back wall is 75 cm long, what is the total length of wood needed for both walls?
3. The roof needs 3 planks that are each 65 cm long. How much wood is needed in total for the roof?
4. You have 250 cm of wood. After using 180 cm for the walls, how much wood is left for the door?
📐 Part 2: Angles and Shapes
5. Circle all the places where you would find right angles in a doghouse:
Where the wall meets the floor
Where two walls meet at a corner
The sloped roof edge
Where the door frame meets the wall
6. Draw a right angle that you might see in your doghouse design:
🎨 Part 3: Fractions in Design
7. Draw a simple doghouse roof below and shade half of it to show where you might paint it red:
8. If you need 90 cm of wood for the entire front wall, how much wood do you need for one third of the front wall?
9. The doghouse floor is divided into 4 equal parts. If you paint 3 parts brown, what fraction of the floor is brown?
⚖️ Part 4: Ratios and Comparisons
10. The side wall is 60 cm long and the front wall is 80 cm long. What is the ratio of the side wall to the front wall? (Write as side : front)
11. If you need 2 roof planks for every 3 wall planks, and you have 9 wall planks, how many roof planks do you need?
12. Compare the materials needed. Circle the correct answer:
The roof needs more wood than the walls
The walls need more wood than the roof
The roof and walls need the same amount of wood
📏 Part 5: Measurement Conversions
13. Convert these measurements:
a) 150 cm = _______ metres
b) 2 metres = _______ centimetres
c) 85 cm = _______ metres and _______ centimetres
14. Which measurement tool would be best for measuring each part of the doghouse?
Door height: _________________
Total length of the doghouse: _________________
Thickness of a wooden plank: _________________
🔧 Part 6: Problem Solving
15. You are building a doghouse that is 120 cm long, 80 cm wide, and 90 cm high. If you need to buy wood in 2-metre lengths, how many pieces will you need for the base perimeter? Show your working.
16. Explain why it's important to measure accurately when building a doghouse:
