Please choose 5th grade measurement:
Measure a distance you hope to travel in inches and convert the units using the map scale. Record your results and details (round trip, estimates time, etc.).
*Research and determine an approximate time/cost of travel (plane, bus, etc.).
Practice adding decimals using visual representations to form a deeper understanding:
Video to understand powers used with exponents.

Collect virtual circle measurements (radius, diameter, and circumference)
Discuss patterns you observe HINT: try and put it in a ratio (x/y)
*Hint: think about which shapes you know the area formula for.
You have 1,200 ft of fencing and are asked to design a playground with three sections. Be mindful that you will have to provide the dimensions (perimeter) and area of each section.
