So to kick off our investigations surrounding perimeter and area, we had a great discussion on how to measure “shapes”.

Isn’t it one of the worst feelings to give a summative assessment that you feel CONFIDENT that your students are

As we wrapped up our studies of area and perimeter, I decided to throw in some problem solving to see
