This learning activity allows students to explain their thinking to find the unknown side of a polygon when the perimeter is given. Students will solve three different problems where the perimeter is given and knowledge of polygon attributes are needed to find the missing sides. This activity can be used as an assessment or an extension activity after students have mastered how to find the perimeter of a polygon.
During this learning activity, students will solve a real-life task that allows students to find the perimeter of several pools (polygons). Students will write equations and solve them to find the perimeter of several polygons.
This is an introductory activity for teaching perimeter. First, students will watch a perimeter song video. Then, they will work with manipulatives to build a garden (array) and discuss what the measurement would be if a ladybug walked around the edge of the garden. This gives the students an opportunity to explore the perimeter using concrete materials.
In this learning activity, students will watch a video that teaches them to count down from ten in order to see a rocket launch. Students will then practice in groups or independently to re-create their own blast off by counting backward from ten to zero.
In this learning activity, students will watch a video read-aloud of the book, One, Two, Three Sassafras! by Stuart Murphy. The video will help to remind them how to count and number order. Then, students will participate in an activity that allows them to apply their counting knowledge by lining up in number order.
This activity should be used as extra practice or an assessment after students have already been introduced to measuring with a ruler and line plots. In this learning activity, students will measure the lengths of pencils to the nearest half-inch and record the data on a line plot.
