    This document outlines a unit plan for teaching perimeter to students. It includes 6 lessons that focus on estimating, measuring, and comparing the perimeters of different shapes using non-standard and standard units. Students will use grid paper to measure the perimeters of different shapes, create shapes with set perimeters, and measure teacher-made rectangles. The unit concludes with a two-part assessment where students measure areas in a nature walk and estimate and measure various rectangle perimeters using a ruler.

    Strand(s): Measurement - Perimeter

    Key Concepts and Skills (based on curriculum expectations)


    estimate, measure, and record perimeter using non-standard units and standard units;
    compare, describe, and order objects, using attributes measured in non-standard units and
    standard units.
    Evidence of Student Learning
    Students can use their understanding of perimeter to measure to different shapes (a pond and
    forest) on grid paper and compare them to decide which would require more lengths of fencing
    to enclose.

    Lessons

    Instructional Task(s)
    Dog Yards: Whos Got the
    Biggest Yard?

    -estimate and count the tiles


    needed to calculate the
    perimeter in cubes
    Antwalks:
    -they are given 6
    pattern blocks (2 red, 2 blue, 2
    yellow per pair)
    -they have to create shapes
    around which an ant could walk
    -after they make it, they need to
    find the perimeter
    Measuring Perimeter with Cubes
    - estimate and measure
    perimeter of teacher made
    shapes as a group using cubes
    - record findings and order shape
    perimeters from least to greatest
    Measuring Distance Around
    - students use a ruler to measure
    the distance around a variety of
    shapes
    - create their own shapes to
    measure

    Grid Paper Challenge


    - create a shape (on grid paper)
    that has a set perimeter (i.e., 20
    cm)
    -how can we change the shape
    and still have the same
    perimeter?

    Assessment/Evalu
    ation

    Resources

    - are students able to


    estimate, calculate
    and compare the 3
    different shapes (dog
    yards)

    Racing Around by
    Stewart Murphy

    - are students able to


    measure around their
    shape
    - can they create and
    compare different
    perimeters created
    with the same blocks

    - how close are the


    estimates
    - can they order
    perimeters

    - cubes
    - ready made shapes
    - work sheet to record
    results

    - can students
    accurately measure
    the perimeter
    - how do they keep
    track of their
    measurements
    - do they properly use
    units
    - are students able to
    create a shape with a
    specific perimeter

    Math Makes Sense


    - ruler, cm cubes
    - pencil

    pattern blocks
    ruler, or cubes
    pencil
    worksheet

    - grid paper
    - pencils

    Final Assessment
    Part 1: Nature Walk
    - measuring and comparing two
    areas to determine which is
    larger
    Part 2: Measurement
    - estimating and measuring the
    perimeter of a variety of
    rectangles using a ruler

    - can they accurately


    estimate, measure,
    compare and order
    the perimeter of
    objects using
    standard and nonstandard units

    - assessment paper
    - ruler, cm cubes
    - pencil
