Teaching  Notes  This  task   focuses  on  designing  a  central  heating  system  for  a  house.  Students  are  presented  with  a  real  scenario  that  requires  careful  calculations  and  application  of  information.    Task  A:  How  much  space?    Outline  Students  study  the  plan  of  a  house  and  calculate  the  volume  of  each  room.    You  will  need  • Teachers’  script  • PowerPoint  • Plans  • ‘How  much  space?’  question  • Markscheme      

Task  2:  How  powerful?    Outline  Students  review  information  and  calculate  the  size  of  radiator  required  for  each  room.    You  will  need  • Teachers’  script  (continued)  • PowerPoint  (continued)  • Plans  • ‘How  powerful?’  question  • Markscheme      Tasks  A  and  B:  Teachers’  script  for  PowerPoint  presentation  

The  text  in  the  right-­‐hand  boxes  provides  a  possible  script  to  be  read  to  students.  However,  it  is   probably   preferable   to   use   your   own  words   and   elaboration.  When   questions   are   asked,  time   for   discussion   in   pairs/groups   should   be   provided.   Ensure   that   students   are   given  opportunity   to   explain   their   reasoning   in   response   to   these   questions.  All   students   need   to  understand  the  concepts  in  order  to  make  progress  with  the  task.    Slide  1

Slide  2  

 

Some  of  you  will  know  that  energy  is  usually  measured  in  joules.  A  British  Thermal  Unit  (BTU)  is  a  unit  of  energy  roughly  equivalent  to  1055  kilojoules.  The  BTU  is  the  unit  used  in  heating  systems.  The  output  of  a  radiator  is  measured  in  BTUs.  The  figure  describes  the  number  of  BTUs  produced  per  hour  (BTU/h)  

Slide  3  

 

When  choosing  a  radiator  for  a  room  it  is  necessary  to  work  out  the  required  BTU/h.  Different  types  of  room  have  different  heating  needs.  This  table  shows  some  guide  temperatures  for  various  rooms  in  a  house.  

Slide  4  

 

This  table  shows  how  to  work  out  the  required  BTU/h  for  different  types  of  room.  In  this  case,  volume  must  be  measured  in  cubic  feet.  Roughly,  how  many  cubic  feet  do  you  think  are  equivalent  to  a  cubic  metre?  Why?    (There  are  just  over  35  cubic  feet  in  a  cubic  metre)  

Slide  5  

 

If  a  house  is  well  insulated  it  needs  less  powerful  heating.  The  BTU/h  required  for  a  room  is  then  reduced.  The  table  shows  some  methods  of  insulating  a  house  and  the  percentage  reduction  in  BTU/h  in  each  case.  Any  reduction  is  always  worked  out  using  the  original  amount.  If  a  room  has  double  glazed  windows  and  cavity  walls,  what  is  the  percentage  reduction  in  BTU/h?    (20%.  Note  that  there  could  be  some  initial  confusion  about  repeated  percentage  change  and  the  fact  that  B  ×  0.9  ×  0.9  ≠  B  ×  0.8)  

Slide  6  

 

However,  sometimes  it  is  necessary  to  increase  the  BTU/h.  This  table  shows  the  features  of  a  room  that  require  a  percentage  increase  in  BTU/h.  Again  the  percentage  increase  would  be  worked  out  using  the  original  amount.  If  a  room  has  two  outside  walls  and  one  of  them  is  north-­‐facing,  what  is  the  percentage  increase  needed?    (25%)

Slide  7  

 

Here  is  the  ground  floor  plan  of  a  detached  house.  All  the  rooms  are  2.7  metres  high.  What  is  the  volume  of  the  kitchen  in  cubic  metres?  (39.5  m3)    There  are  about  35.3  cubic  feet  in  a  cubic  metre.  What  is  the  volume  of  the  kitchen  in  cubic  feet?  (1395  cubic  feet)    How  would  you  find  the  volume  of  the  living  room?  

Slide  8  

 

Here  are  the  rooms  on  the  first  floor  of  the  house.  All  of  these  rooms  are  also  2.7  metres  high.            

   Task  A:  How  much  space?  

Question  

Imagine  that  you  are  designing  the  heating  system  for  this  house.  

Work  out  the  volume  of  each  room  in  cubic  feet  • Living  room  • Dining  room  • Kitchen  • Hall  • Landing  • Bedroom  1  • Bedroom  2  • Bedroom  3  • Bathroom  

 Note  that  the  living  room  and  bedroom  3  are  more  complex  shapes  

Treat  the  hall  and  the  landing  as  cuboids  and  ignore  the  stairs      

Remember  • Volume  of  a  cuboid  =  length  ×  width  ×  height  • Volume  of  a  prism  =  area  of  cross-­‐section  ×  length  • 1  cubic  metre  is  roughly  equivalent  to  35.3  cubic  feet  • All  rooms  are  2.7  metres  high

 Progression  in  reasoning  Identify  processes  and  connections  • Prioritise  and  

organise  the  relevant  steps  needed  to  complete  the  task  or  reach  a  solution    

 

   Start  with  an  approach;  try  it  out  on  some  examples;  e.g.  find  the  volumes  of  some  rooms  that  can  be  approximated  as  a  cuboid    

   Identify  some  steps  towards  achieving  a  solution,  not  necessarily  in  sequence;  e.g.  find  all  ‘missing’  dimensions    

   Identify  a  sequence  of  steps  towards  achieving  a  solution;  e.g.  find  all  required  lengths  and  organise  them  in  a  way  enabling  straightforward  calculation.  Break  down  composite  cross-­‐sectional  areas  into  standard  shapes

   A  wider  range  of  appropriate  mathematical  vocabulary  is  used  in  explanations.  Arguments  are  supported  with  evidence;  e.g.  correct  units  are  stated  throughout  a  multi-­‐step  calculation  

   Orally  and  in  writing:  use  mathematical  vocabulary  precisely;  e.g.  correct  units  are  used  throughout  a  multi-­‐step  calculation.  Symbols  are  used  precisely;  e.g.  the  roughly  equivalent  to  symbol  (≈),  the  equals  symbol  (=)  applied  correctly  when  rounding.    

Review  • Select  and  apply  

appropriate  checking  strategies  

 Students  check  their  entry  of  calculations  on  the  calculator  screen  

 Students  compare  results  for  the  volume  of  each  room,  checking  results  if  they  seem  to  contradict  each  other  

 Students  have  a  sense  of  the  expected  magnitude  of  the  BTU/h  for  each  room.  They  act  immediately  if  a  result  contradicts  what  they  expect.
