Today we used everything we have learned about measurement to start
calculating the Perimeter of things.
Each group was given a piece of grid paper with figures drawn on it.
Their job was to turn their figures into places.
Some groups turned their figures into the Palace of Auburn Hills,
Tiger Stadium, the park, apartment buildings, houses, and arenas.
Once that had been decided, they needed to find the Perimeter of each
of the figures. They were so excited to create their 'places' I think
they forgot they were doing math. Everyone was so focused on Perimeter...it was great!!
They presented the 'maps' they had created to the class at the end of the day.
We will be using these same 'maps' to learn about area and moving on a grid.
Way to go everyone!!
