Interactivate: Standard Expectation

9 items total

Organization: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
Grade Band: Grades 3 - 5
Standard Goal: Measurement

explore what happens to measurements of a two-dimensional shape such as its perimeter and area when the shape is changed in some way
understand such attributes as length, area, weight, volume, and size of angle and select the appropriate type of unit for measuring each attribute
understand the need for measuring with standard units and become familiar with standard units in the customary and metric systems

explore what happens to measurements of a two-dimensional shape such as its perimeter and area when the shape is changed in some way

Length, Perimeter, and Area	Lesson: Introduces students to length, perimeter and area.
Shape Builder	Activity: This activity operates in one of two modes: auto draw and create shape mode, allowing you to explore relationships between area and perimeter. Shape Builder is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Shape Explorer	Activity: Learn the difference between perimeter and area. A random shape will be automatically generated. Calculate the area and perimeter of this shape. Shape Explorer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.

Triangle Area	Lesson: Students learn about finding the area of a triangle.
Area (elementary)	Lesson: This lesson has students explore areas of rectangular and irregular shapes on a grid to help them understand the concept of area and the units in which area is measured.
Perimeter (elementary)	Lesson: Students learn about perimeter and the units used to measure perimeter using a variety of materials including their hands, feet, rulers, and computer applets.
