How does understanding the concept of perimeter help us solve problems related to the boundaries of shapes in our environment?
Critical Thinking: Applying knowledge of perimeter in diverse scenarios to make informed decisions.
Responsibility: Accurately calculating and using perimeter measurements for practical purposes.
Adaptive Perseverance: Persistently exploring different solutions to perimeter-related problems.
How do we calculate the perimeter of various polygons, and why is this measure important?
How can finding an unknown side length help us understand more about the shape's properties?
In what real-world situations might we need to calculate the perimeter, and how can different perimeters affect these situations?
Students will calculate the perimeter of different polygons given the side lengths.
Students will solve for unknown side lengths when given the perimeter of a polygon.
Students will apply their understanding of perimeter to solve real-world problems and understand how it affects physical spaces.
3.MD.D.8: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
