  1. Perimeter and Area Let the fun begin!

  2. Why do I need to know this??? • To find out the size of your foot • To find out how long a bracelet would need to be to fit your wrist • To find out how much carpet you would need for your house • To measure the distance you walk your dog around your block Betsy Bellinger and Stacey Spillman

  3. What is perimeter? The distance around a geometric figure

  4. Formula for perimeter of a square P=4s OR Just add all the sides together YOUR CHOICE!!

  5. Let’s try it! If one side of a square measures 8 inches, what is the perimeter of the square?

  6. Answer: 32 inches Did you get it right?

  7. Formula for perimeter of a rectangle P = 2L + 2W OR Just add all the sides together YOUR CHOICE!!

  8. Let’s try it! Find the perimeter of the rectangle above.

  9. Answer: 18 units Don’t forget to label!

  10. Now let’s talk about area…

  11. What is area? The number of square units needed to cover a surface

  12. Formula for the area of a square or rectangle A= L x W

  13. Let’s try it! Find the area of the rectangle above.

  14. Answer: 27 square cm How did you do? Did you remember to label?

  15. Let’s sum things up… What did you learn today?

  18. Tangram Lesson plan ENGAGE: -Hold up a set of tangrams and ask the students if they can name each individual shape. -Does anyone know what it is called when you put all of these shapes together in a set? -Read the Grandfather Tang book aloud to the class, asking guided questions throughout. -What did you learn from this story? EXPLORE: -Hand out manipulatives to explore on their own for 5-10 minutes. -Show an example on the overhead of using the tangrams to create a shape from an outlined puzzle, emphasizing that ALL shapes must be used and fit perfectly inside the pattern. -Hand out patterns/pictures for students to use to create their tangram picture. -Walk around the room to encourage and monitor students. -Tell students to trade patterns with a neighbor when they have completed their picture. EXPLAIN: -What does this activity have to do with math? -How can this activity help you strengthen your math skills? -What math skills did you use to create your picture? -Have students take turns showing their finished picture to the class and share the strategy they used to solve the puzzle. EXTEND: -Take the class to the writing lab and have them use the interactive website http://matti.usu.edu/nlvm/nav/category_g_3_t_3.html to manipulate tangrams on the internet to create prescribed shapes. EVALUATE: -Participation -Staying on-task -Students will write a one-paragraph reflection about what they learned in this lesson, their reaction to the lesson, and an idea about how they can use skills enforced in this lesson in real life.
