We have been having so much with this math unit. We made shapes using straws and twist-ties so we could learn to measure the lengths of the sides. We learned how to find the perimeter by using the geoboards, but we couldn't find all the different ways to make a perimeter of 12, 14, and 16 with the geoboards we had. Mrs. Labrum them gave us some dot paper and we were able to draw the shapes and figure out the perimeters we needed. When we found the pattern with the numbers it all became so much easier. Did you know that if you find the lengths of two sides of a rectangle you can find the perimeter by adding that length twice? You only have to measure two sides and you can find the perimeter! We are so smart! I wonder what fun things we will do tomorrow in math?
