Millimetres, Centimetres and Metres Create large shapes on the floor using masking tape. Measure them by following your lines with string and then measuring the string using a metre stick. How would this measurement change if you used a different unit of measurement? m? cm? mm? Try each one!

Perimeter and Area- Rectangles Perimeter - The area around something ◦ Perimeter of a rectangle = l + l + w + w Area – the amount of space an object covers ◦ Area of a rectangle = length x width

Find the Perimeter Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w or 2 (l + w) Create as many rectangles as you can with a perimeter of 20 cm 281_g_2_t_4.html?open=activities& from=topic_t_4.html Complete page 66 in student workbook

PIGS ROBERT MUNSCH Megan is told to feed the pigs, but not to open the gate. She does of course, and the results are hilarious as the pigs help themselves to coffee and the newspaper at the breakfast table, follow Megan to school, and ride home by way of the school bus.

Constructed Response - Area Complete the constructed response on page 11 of the student booklet A farmer has 100 m of fencing to make a pen for his pigs. He decides a rectangle would be the best shape. What are some possible sizes of pens he could make? How do the areas of the pens compare and what size they would recommend and why? What pen has the greatest area? What is special about this rectangle?
