The student will use problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, connections, and representations to

• Solve practical problems that involve perimeter, area, and volume in standard units of measure. (a)

• Determine the perimeter of a polygon, with or without diagrams, when – the lengths of all sides of a polygon that is not a rectangle or a square are given; – the length and width of a rectangle are given; or – the length of a side of a square is given. (a)

• Estimate and determine the area of a square and rectangle using whole number measurements given in metric or U.S. Customary units, and record the solution with the appropriate unit of measure (e.g., 24 square inches). (a)

• Develop a procedure for determining the area of a right triangle using only whole number measurements given in metric or U.S. Customary units, and record the solution with the appropriate unit of measure (e.g., 12 square inches). (a)

• Estimate and determine the area of a right triangle, with diagrams, when the base and the height are given. (a) Develop a procedure for determining volume using manipulatives (e.g., cubes). (a)

• Estimate and determine the volume of a rectangular prism with diagrams, when the length, width, and height are given, using whole number measurements. Record the solution with the appropriate unit of measure (e.g., 12 cubic inches). (a)

• Describe practical situations where perimeter, area, and volume are appropriate measures to use, and justify orally or in writing. (b) Identify whether the application of the concept of perimeter, area, or volume is appropriate for a given situation. (b)
