Unit 6: Measurement & Geometry

Grade 6

Perimeter of Polygons

Students measure pre-cut polygons, trace and label shapes, and record a plan, calculation, and find answer for perimeter. Discussion includes ways to formalize, generalize, and make the process efficient.

Perimeter of Polygons II

Students continue to measure polygons and formalize their perimeter calculations. This time using Power Polygons whose side measures may include partial centimeters.
