Worksheet I designed for the work-time portion of the the lesson.
Examples of student work.
The students demonstrated many different ways of coming up with the same answer. Some added one part at a time, while others all at once. Some students were able to notice that they did not have to measure all four sides. This was a preview to learning area. Many students understood the connection on their own, while others had to be shown explicitly .
Homework to reinforce perimeter.
Examples of student homework.
The students who worked independently in class were able to complete the homework without any problems. Students who needed some guidance had a little bit of trouble, while students who relied heavily on our help during class had no clue how to complete the homework. As a result, the next day I worked with the small group of students on perimeter.
