Math Live – Area and Perimeter of Irregular Shapes : Assessment Task Grade: 4 Strand: Shape and Space (Measurement) Outcome: 3 SPECIFIC LEARNER OUTCOME – Shape and Space (Measurement) SS3 Demonstrate an understanding of area of regular and irregular 2-D shapes by: • recognizing that area is measured in square units • selecting and justifying referents for the units cm2 or m2 • estimating area, using referents for cm2 or m2 • determining and recording area (cm2 or m2) • constructing different rectangles for a given area (cm2 or m2) in order to demonstrate that many different rectangles may have the same area. PROCESSES Communication (C), Connections (CN), Mental Mathematics and Estimation (ME), Problem Solving (PS), Reasoning (R), Technology (T), Visualization (V) C, CN, ME, PS, R, V Part One: Perimeter EVIDENCE the student has achieved the outcomes Each student will: • Estimate the perimeter of irregular shapes (both with curved lines and with straight line segments) and adjust estimates based on partial measurements. • Measure the perimeter of irregular shapes by a) dividing the figure into parts, and b) using a flexible tool such as string and then measuring the length of the string. • Describe two methods of finding the perimeter of an irregular shape. TEACHER NOTE • In this assessment task, students will be asked to demonstrate their understanding of linear measurement by estimating and measuring the perimeter of irregular shapes. They will use string to measure the perimeter of a curved playground enclosure. Students will then divide a polygon shape into parts to measure the perimeter of a playground structure. Finally, students describe each type of measuring strategy f
