Learning Outcomes

Math

Estimate an area by comparing to a benchmark of a square centimetre or square metre.

Express the area of a rectangle using standard units given the lengths of its sides.


What Did Students Do?

This week, students explored the concepts of perimeter and area. We reviewed what perimeter is and how to identify it in rectangles. Students visualized and examined this concept through the use of geoboards. Students then used grid paper to draw a variety of rectangles and to identify perimeter.





Students engaged in a math talk with their peers to build their understanding of area. Students viewed examples of a referent in relation to a rectangle and tried to estimate how many squares could cover the rectangle's area. 




Students created a reference about perimeter and area. They learned about the formula that can be used to easily and efficiently find perimeter and area.

Students practiced these concepts by creating rectangles and using math notation to show how they found P (Perimeter) and A (area). See examples of their w
