Essential Question: How do we find the area and perimeter of common shapes? Overview: Maps lend themselves to exploring the concepts of perimeter and area because they deal with the idea of distance and living space. To build their understanding, students translate distance measurements to their corresponding square unit and use these units to calculate perimeters and areas of shapes. The lesson extends the “counting units” method to investigating patterns in the areas of rectangles, introducing and applying the formulas. Grade Range: Grade 3 - 6 Time Allocation: 20 – 40 minutes per lesson Objectives: Students will define perimeter and area and relate them to the real-world context of maps. Students will determine the perimeter of a shape using repeated addition. Students will determine the area of a shape using square units. Students will develop the formula for area and perimeter of a rectangle and apply them to solve problems. Common Core Curriculum Standards: Grade 3 Standards - Measurement and Data: Perimeter and area Understand and use concepts of area measurement. A square with side length 1 unit, called a unit square is said to have one square unit of area, and can be used to measure area. A plane figure which can be covered without gaps or overlaps by n unit squares has an area of n square units. Areas of some other figures can be measured by using fractions of unit squares or using figures whose areas have been found by decomposing other figures. When measuring an area, if a smaller unit of measurement is used, more units must be iterated to measure the area in those units. Determine and compare areas by counting square units. Use cm2, m2, in2, ft2, and improvised units. Understand that multiplication of whole numbers can be represented by area models; a rectangular region that is a length units by b length units (where a and b are whole numbers) and tiled with unit squares illustrates why the rectangle encloses an area o
