MONDAY


Module 6




3.GSR.8.1 Determine the perimeter of a polygon and explain that the perimeter represents the distance around a polygon. Solve problems involving perimeters of polygons.

LT:We are learning to classify, compare and contrast polygons.


SC: I can explain that perimeter represents the distance around a polygon.

I can determine the perimeter of a polygon when given the side lengths.

I can solve the perimeter of regular polygons.


Lesson/Activity: Module 6 Lesson 15 

Students use the attributes of shapes to find the perimeter of a rectangle and the perimeters of regular polygons with unknown side lengths.  Students share and compare strategies with various partners.

b. Explore, research, and communicate solutions, such as conservation of resources and recycling of materials, to protect plants and animals.


LT: We are learning about the sources and effects of pollution on plants and animals.


SC:  I will know I’m successful when I can…

I can ask questions and explain sources of pollution (air, land, water). 

I can collect research on pollution (air, land, water) and plants. 

I can analyze and explain the effect of pollution (air, land, water) on plants. 

I can collect research on pollution (air, land, water) and animals.

TUESDAY


Module 6


3.GSR.8.1 Determine the perimeter of a polygon and explain that the perimeter represents the distance around a polygon. Solve problems involving perimeters of polygons.

3.GSR.8.2 Investigate and describe how rectangles with the same perimeter can have different areas or how rectangles with the same area can have different perimeters.

LT:We are learning to classify, compare and contrast polygons.


SC:I can create different rectangles with the same area.

I can describe how rectangles with the same area can have different perimeter.


Lesson/Activity: Module 6 Lesson 16 

Students draw all possible rectangles with a given area.  Then they find the perimeter of each rectangle and notice that although the areas are the same, the perimeters are different.  Students reason about the relationship between the dimensions of a rectangle and its perimeter.
