  2. Congratulations!!! Dear Big Dreamer, Thank you for your interest in this project. You have been selected out of 1,000,000 dreamers as this year’s “Dream Big – design your dream bedroom” contest. You have won $25,000 to design your dream bedroom. As a way to enrich your already wonderful math curriculum, you are offered this “optional” activity for extra credit. This assignment includes many formal assessments and a class presentation at the end of the project. This class presentation – a summative assessment - will be presented upon completion of the project. You are to work at your own pace. The due date is dependant on you. Yours in mathematics, Mme. K. Whitnell
