1. PERIMETER PATTERNS
2. PERIMETER PATTERNS You will use a set of pattern pieces for this activity.
Use the square to measure the sides of the other pattern pieces. (The side of the square is 1 inch.)
3. PERIMETER PATTERNS Use the squares to create a sequence.
Record your results in a table.
4. PERIMETER PATTERNS Complete your table to this one.
5. PERIMETER PATTERNS How did you figure out the perimeter?
6. PERIMETER PATTERNS Let’s look for a pattern based on how many squares are used in the sequence.
We know that adding a square adds 2 to the perimeter.
Think about that pattern.
7. PERIMETER PATTERNS What does not change regardless of the number of squares?
8. PERIMETER PATTERNS How many sides of the square counts besides the 2 on the ends?
9. PERIMETER PATTERNS If there are 100 squares in the figure, what is the length of the sides?
10. PERIMETER PATTERNS If there are 150 squares in the figure, what is the perimeter?
11. PERIMETER PATTERNS Use your pattern pieces to create this sequence and complete the table
12. PERIMETER PATTERNS Does your table match this one?
13. PERIMETER PATTERNS What is the perimeter of the figure with 30 rhombuses?
14. Create a table for this sequence and write a formula for finding the perimeter of a figure with any number of hexagons *** What if they line them up differently (i.e. not in a row)? *** What if they line them up differently (i.e. not in a row)?
15. PERIMETER PATTERNS Compare your table to this one
16. PERIMETER PATTERNS What pattern did you find to help you write a formula?
17. PERIMETER PATTERNS What formula can be used to find the perimeter of a figure with “n” hexagons?
18. Create a table for this sequence and write a formula for finding the perimeter of a figure with any number of triangles. *** What if they line them up differently (i.e. not in a row)? *** What if they line them up differently (i.e. not in a row)?
19. PERIMETER PATTERNS Does your table match this one?
20. PERIMETER PATTERNS How does the perimeter change when you add another triangle?
21. PERIMETER PATTERNS What formula can be used to find the perimeter of a figure with “n” triangles?
22. Create a table for this sequence and write a formula for finding the perimeter of a figure with any number of trapezoids.
23. PERIMETER PATTERNS Compare your table to this one?
24. PERIMETER PATTERNS How does the perimeter change when you add a trapezoid?
25. PERIMETER PATTERNS What formula can be used to find the perimeter of a figure with “n” trapezoids?
26. Create a table for this sequence and write a formula for finding the perimeter of a figure with any number of parallelograms.
27. PERIMETER PATTERNS Does your table match this one?
28. PERIMETER PATTERNS Are there any other differences in this sequence?
29. Create a table for this sequence and write a formula for finding the perimeter of a figure with any number of trapezoids.
30. PERIMETER PATTERNS Does your table match this one?
31. PERIMETER PATTERNS How many trapezoids do you add to create the next figure?
32. PERIMETER PATTERNS How much does each trapezoid increase the perimeter?
