Measuring with Mathematics
Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.
Curated OER
Measurement
Students identify and categorize different problem situations or contexts using one of four measurements to solve the problem. Through guided and independent practice, they discover ways to determine which measurement to use when...
