In Grade 4, yesterday’s math lesson on perimeter challenged the students to calculate the perimeter of their classroom. Armed with tape measures and meter sticks, the students found the task to be more difficult than they thought it would be, having to account for window and door measurements. In the end, the class came up with a “rough estimate” and learned a lot in the process–not only about determining perimeter, but how to work successfully in a group.
