Math:
This week in math the students will begin to connect perimeter to area by constructing rectangles from a given number of unit squares to determine perimeters. They will also construct rectangles with a given perimeter using unit squares and determine their areas.
Example problem showing a 2 units by 4 units rectangle. The Area of this rectangle is 8 square units (2 x 4 = 8) and the perimeter of this rectangle is 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 =12 units
Example problem showing a 2 units by 4 units rectangle. The Area of this rectangle is 8 square units (2 x 4 = 8) and the perimeter of this rectangle is 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 =12 units
Example word problem connecting the concepts of Area and perimeter:
Marci says, "If a rectangle has a greater area than another rectangle, it must have a larger perimeter." Do you agree or disagree? Show an example to prove your thinking
Science:
This week in science we will conclude our Unit 8 on "Classifying Plants and Animals". The students will work on completing our Benchmark Review questions before our Unit 8 assessment.
