1. Quadrilateral Review Measure the length and width of your desktop. Measure and calculate the distance around the outside of your desktop. What unit did you use to measure your desks? Why? What do we call the distance around the outside of an object?

2. Group Investigation Get into groups of 4 – Member 1: Task leader-makes sure all students are participating and lets me know if the group needs help or has questions – Member 2: Recorder-keeps group copy of measurements and calculations from activity – Member 3: Measurer-measures items (other members should also check these measurements) – Member 4: Presenter-presents the group’s findings and ideas to the class – Pick your roles now…

4. Consolidation: patterns What patterns do you see? What do you notice? diameter radius Perimeter -The distance around a circular object is the circumference c - When you divide c (circumference) by d (diameter), you get a number close to 3. cr - When you divide the c (circumference) by the r (radius), you get a number close to 6. 2r = d d = r 3d = c 6 r = c 2

6. C = x d or C = d http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activity.aspx?id=3 547 d = 41 cm Circumference, Diameter, and Pi

7. C = x (r + r) or C = 2r r= 30mm Circumference, Pi, and Radius

8. Solve: C = 2 r r= 15cm

9. Solve: C = 2 r r= 7cm
