MATH. DESIGN. CONSTRUCTION.
Learn what goes into a house.
Build math skills and explore how a house is designed and constructed—from its footprint to the final roof panel.
House design
Explore a house’s footprint, dimensions, and how its parts fit together.
Construction basics
Follow the build from foundations and framing to exterior work and finishing touches.
Perimeter
Trace a footprint. Measure its edges.
Area
Work out how much surface to cover.
Volume
Calculate the concrete a form needs.
Algebra & missing lengths
Use what you know to find what’s missing.
Measurement & units

FOR LEARNERS & THE PEOPLE GUIDING THEM
An answer to
“When will I use this?”
A house-building adventure for elementary and middle-school learners. Connect math with basic design and construction as the house takes shape, with more challenging ideas to explore along the way.
Build, pause, come back.
Work through a project one problem at a time. Use help, see progress, and return to unfinished challenges.
Give the math a context.
Use a house-building problem to start a conversation about lengths, shapes, materials, and why an answer makes sense.
See progress. Guide the next step.
Student progress and game analytics show completed activities, skipped challenges, and progress through the building stages. Educators can use these insights to celebrate achievement, identify concepts to revisit, and guide support for each learner.

What is The House That Math Built?
Also called MathHouse, it’s an educational game where students apply geometry, algebra, and measurement while exploring the basics of house design and construction. Students build a 3D house through 25 math activities across five construction stages.
What happens when an answer is incorrect?
The construction activity makes the result visible. Depending on the problem, a piece may be too small, material may be left over, or a form may not fill. Students can use the feedback and help to try the problem again.
Can students return to skipped problems?
Yes. The build summary distinguishes solved and skipped problems and offers a way to revisit unresolved challenges. Skipping does not count as solving.
Where can I download MathHouse?
