By the end of this lesson, you will be able to use basic math concepts to plan and execute a painting project for your bedroom.

Materials and Prep

• Paint (various colors)
• Paintbrushes
• Painter's tape
• Measuring tape
• Pencil and paper

Before starting the lesson, measure the walls of your bedroom and decide on a color scheme for your painting project.

Activities
