Children will focus on:

• Measuring to the nearest centimeter and 1/2 inch

• Generating and representing measurement data on a line plot

• Reviewing characteristics of polygons

• Sorting quadrilaterals into categories based on defining attributes

• Measuring perimeters of rectangles

• Distinguishing between perimeter as a measure of distance around and area as a measure of the amount of surface within the boundaries of a 2-dimensional shapes

• Finding the areas of rectangles using composite units

• Writing multiplication number sentences that show how to find areas of rectangles

• Developing strategies for finding area and perimeter

• Finding the areas of real-world rectilinear figures by partitioning figures into rectangles
