 * <span style="color: #c00000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Measure the dimensions of your bedroom. Draw an accurate scale diagram of the floor area of your room and show the scale you have used. Calculate how much it would cost to carpet your room if the carpet cost is $55 per square metre.
 * <span style="color: #c00000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Mark which rooms in your house __should__ be carpeted. Determine how much it would cost to carpet all the rooms in the house. The carpet shop lets you pay off the carpet over 1 year at a cost of 8% simple interest. How much extra would the interest add to the total cost of the carpet?
 * <span style="color: #c00000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Determine the volume of water that your bath could hold if it was filled to the top. You might need to approximate the shape of the bath as a rectangular prism. Determine how much it would cost to tile all the wall area between the bath and ceiling if the tiler charges $60 per square metre.
 * <span style="color: #c00000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Calculate the surface area of concrete around the house (including driveway). If the concrete is 15 cm deep calculate how many cubic metres of concrete were used.
 * <span style="color: #c00000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">You have offered to paint the interior walls of the house during the next school holidays. The paint covers 16 square metres per litre and costs $59.50 for a four litre can. If you put two coats of paint on the walls how much will it cost to buy the paint.

LITTLE BOURKE STREET & PUNCH LANE ACTIVITY** These streets are more than 150 years old. This activity follows the Golden Mile brass markers along Little Bourke Street and turns right into Punch Lane. Spot the signs of the past as you go. __The Princess Theatre (Northern wall, Little Bourke Street)__ 1. Write down the four words from the old painted sign high on this brick wall. 2. How many doorways have been bricked up in this wall? 3. The metal plates on the walls are the ends of long rods that are used to tie old buildings together. How many of these metal plates can you see/ __Oakford Gordon Apartments (Little Bourke Street)__ 4. Did you know that in 1880 there were 20,000 horses stabled in the City of Melbourne? Find the post that was used to tie up horses. __Punch Lane__ 5. Standing in front of the vacant site on Punch Lane, and using the sketch, draw the shape of the building that was once here. (Look for clues on the adjoining walls) __Rear of shops facing Lonsdale Street__ 6. How were these old buildings originally heated? Is there any physical evidence for your answer? 7. What do these houses have behind them that are not usually found in the city today ? 8. In this area are there any vacant sites, where older buildings have been demolished? Look for traces of the demolished buildings on the walls of the surrounding buildings. Using any traces of demolished buildings, on graph paper, complete a scale drawing of the building you think existed on this site in approx 1900.

Look for the bluestone blocks edging the grounds around The Society’s building on its southwest corner, with particular markings on them: • Who made them? • What do they represent? Draw the markings on three marked kerbstones in three boxes: What is strange about these markings? What do the markings V and VV mean? Does 1/4 or 3/4 suggest that these are measurements? If V is the Roman numeral for 5, what might VV mean? How did the Romans identify fractions? Have you heard of the quadrans and the dodrans? Did the Romans use a decimal system or another system?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Queen Victoria died in 1901 As a monument to her reign. A memorial statue, made of white Carrara marble, Harcourt granite and NSW marble, was commissioned from sculptor James White. The statue, manufactured in 1907, shows the Queen in ceremonial gowns casting her regal gaze across ornamental lakes, sweeping lawns and rose gardens to the city. Nearby is the floral clock. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The floral clock has a radius of four metres, with an inner circle of radius 2.5 metres. The lengths of the minute hand and the hour hand are 2.1 metres and 1.7 metres respectively.

Depending on the design, approximately 4000 plants are needed for the inner design and 3000–3500 for the outer section. The designs are frequently based on polygons but these shapes are based on octagons.
