Maths Stations

LI: Trying to learn about the perimeter by using grid paper and plastic squares to measure.

Today we finished off our 5 stations on how to measure and multiply the perimeter and the area together with plastic squares and grid paper. This week for maths we have been learning how to measure perimeter and area together and multiplying them to get an answer. We also learned about answering and multiplying the perimeter and area and finding out the answer.The answer can’t have decimal included because that would mean the area and perimeter aren’t squared. In the first station we had to try and find the smallest perimeter for 36 squares and find the smallest perimeter for 48 squares. In the second station we had to using 48 squares and then we had to find the smallest perimeter. The third station we had to use the calculator to find out the answers for the square roots of a square tile.In the fourth station we had to move,cut and tape 36 square tiles to make a base of something. First we made 36 tiles then we moved and cut and taped it together. Then we did the same but with only 10 tiles 2 x 5.. In station five we had to use grid paper to find the smallest perimeter for each room in the house. In the house there was 3 - 4 bedrooms and they were all different shapes.
