Today we did area and perimeter activities such as measuring the floor, a book, sticky notes and more. We learned area and perimeter while having fun! With these objects we filled them in with square tiles and figured out the area and perimeter. We got to go around each station. We had these papers we had to fill out at every station to record our thinking. So when we put the tiles on the object we had to find the area and the perimeter and write it on the paper. In group one there was a square tile on the floor. In group two there was a book and you had to put the tiles on the book. In group three we had to put red tiles on a sticky note. In group four there was a base hundred block. In the last group, it had a weird shape that was group five. We discovered that we didn't have to put the tiles on everything but could use multiplication or repeated addition to find area. That is what we did on April 18, 2016. Thank you for reading this post.
