Perimeter: Measure Around

We discovered how to measure perimeter yesterday. Today we are going to continue to practice this skill.

First, we will find the perimeter of things in our classroom.

Next, you will need this site to help you: http://www.mathrealm.com/Class/Demos/GeoBoard.htm

Finally, play the Perimeter Game:
You will be given two colored number cubes. The red cube will represent the width of the figure and the blue cube will represent the length of the figure. After each roll, record the length and width numbers on your record sheet. Construct the figure using snap cubes. Then, find the perimeter and draw a diagram of the figure.
