Summary

Can two rectangles have the same perimeter but… different areas!?

  1. Students create at least five different rectangles with 16m of perimeter.
  2. They organize their information and look for a pattern between the shape's dimensions and its area.
  3. Students create three ways to use three of their different rectangles. I give an Alien Zoo example.
