Find two objects in your classroom that you can't move and that you think are about the same length.
- How will you prove they are about the same length using Dash?
- Find two things that you think have the same perimeter. Use Dash to test your theory.
- Record your work for each question.
Reflection Questions:
Reflection Questions:
- How did you choose your two objects and estimate they were the same length?
- How did you know when your objects were about the same length (perimeter)?
- How did you choose to record your work?
- What questions arose as you worked?
