Who knew that a party is all about the area. Individuals draw out a patio on grid paper while planning to host a party. Using colored paper to represent the total area of the patio, learners cut out furnishings to add to the patio, making sure not to use up the entire area. Each member of the class presents their design and defends the number of guests invited based on available area.
