Math:
This week in math we will be learning about solving real world problems involving perimeter and missing measurements.  The students will use all four operations to solve problems involving perimeter of unknown measurements.  They will continue to practice solving for perimeter adding all of the sides of shapes to determine the outside boundary measurement.  The students will review the definition of "regular" and "irregular" polygons.

Example problem solving perimeter with unknown side length:

What is the perimeter of this figure?  Remember that perimeter is the outside boundaries of a shape.  The students must label the unknown sides as 11 cm and 3 cm.  The equation to solve this problem is 3 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm + 11 cm +11 cm= 31 cm.  The perimeter of this shape is 31 cm.




Science:
This week in Science we will learn about how we can classify things. Sorting and grouping plants or animals based on characteristics.
