Boundary Blueprint at Neuschwanstein Castle

Area & Perimeter Adventure Pack

High in the Bavarian Alps, the towers of Neuschwanstein Castle stand tall — but something is wrong with the royal blueprints. Courtyard walls are mismeasured. Garden paths are mismarked. Floor plans are incomplete. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the measurement grid. If explorers cannot calculate boundaries and surface space accurately, the castle’s design system could unravel.

In Boundary Blueprint at Neuschwanstein Castle, students climb aboard the Castle Blueprint Carriage and enter a high-stakes geometry mission. To restore order, explorers must calculate perimeter to measure boundaries and determine area using square units. By applying the rectangle formula, counting squares, decomposing complex shapes, and solving word problems — including finding missing sides — students rebuild the castle’s design with precision.

This adventure blends foundational geometry and problem-solving with logical reasoning and real-world application.

• Decompose Shapes – Breaking complex shapes into smaller rectangles
• Missing Side – Finding an unknown side length using known information
• Word Problems – Real-world problems involving area or perimeter
• Reasonableness – Checking whether an answer makes sense

Each concept appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing measurement understanding through exploration rather than memorization.
