Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Students explore the big idea: Shapes can have the same perimeter, but very different areas.
Steps
- Students create at least five different rectangles with 16m of perimeter.
- They organize their information and look for a pattern between the shape's dimensions and its area.
- Students create three ways to use three of their different rectangles. I give an Alien Zoo example.
