Homework
1. Reading
2. Practice measuring perimeter and area at home with non-standard objects.


I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter weekend!

This is just a reminder to students that on Friday we will be having a math assessment on measurement.

Success Criteria

·     I know that centimeters are used to measure small objects.

·     I know that one centimeter measures about the same as the width of my finger.

·     I can use a ruler to measure certain objects.

·     I can describe my mathematical thinking using words such as length and height.

·     I know that 1 metre is 100 cm.

·     I know that one centicube measures 1 cm.

Perimeter

·        I can measure the length of an object using non-standard units (ie. Manipulatives)

·     I know that perimeter means the total distance around a shape.

·     I can measure around a shape with a string and then measure the string using snap cubes.

·     I can estimate and then find the perimeter of a shape by adding the lengths of the sides.

·     I can use diagrams to communicate and explain my mathematical thinking about perimeter.

·     I know that perimeter can be measured using non-standard units such as snap cubes and standard units such as centimeters or meters.

·     I can apply strategies to solve the problem and select the appropriate tools and best units to measure perimeter.

Area

·     I know that area means the total surface space of an object/shape.

·     I can estimate and then find the area.

·     I can count the number of non-standard units needed to cover the surface of an object.
