Math:

This week in math, the students will connect area and perimeter by constructing rectangles from a given number of unit squares and determining the perimeter of the rectangles.  They will also construct rectangles with given perimeter using unit squares and determine the area of the rectangles.  The students will measure the perimeter of circles to the nearest quarter inch. They will use a line plot to record the given number of rectangles constructed from a given number of square units.

Example of word problem connecting area and perimeter.

Marci says, "If a rectangle has a bigger area than another rectangle, it must have a larger perimeter."  Do you agree or disagree?  Show an example to prove your thinking.

Things to practice at home:

Continue practicing multiplication facts 2-10.

Partition objects at home and compare fractions determining equivalency.

Add and subtract 2 and 3 digit numbers with and without regrouping.

Use vertical number lines to round numbers to nearest 10's and 100's.

Solve word problems involving the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
