OBJECTIVE: Find perimeter using fractional measurements (5-6, Pp194ff)[1.2.2] ACTIVITIES: Review standard folrmulas for perimeter; Introduce the generic perimeter formula, P(n) = s(1) + s(2) + ... + s(n). Show the relationship. Maintain an emphasis on LINEAR measre and one dimension. NOTES: HOMEWORK: P196 MEASURE 9, 10, 11, 16, and 17 to determine perimeter. Set up problem starting with the FORMULA. Label where appropriate.

OBJECTIVE: Find the circumference of circles (5-7, Pp197ff)[1.2.3][2.3.2] ACTIVITIES: Review/ensure knowledge of the terminology - perhaps via a quiz relating to the terms CIRCLE CENTER DIAMETER RADIUS and CIRCUMFERENCE. Also review PI. NOTES: Be sure to include the notion of fractional data = fractional answers - decimal data - decimal answers, HOMEWORK: P197 mini-lab (5 objects) Draw table with a ruler. Do assignment according to written directions - not your interpretation.
