Module 1 Lesson 20: An Exercise in Creating Scale Drawing

In today's lesson, we created a scale drawing of the classroom using the measurement in inches and converting those measurements using the scale 1 box is 12 inches in real life.  For homework, you need to make a basic scale drawing of a room in your house using the scale 1 box is 24 inches.  Please disregard any wording in the problem set about taking pictures, just create the scale drawing on the graph paper.
