Length/perimeter

**Learning Goals**

My learning goal(s) for __Length/perimeter is:__

__1) learn how to measure the perimeter of complicated shapes__ __2) learn how to measure the area of complicated shapes__ __3) Estimate common measurements using standard units__

To achieve my learning goal(s), I must learn: (What specific knowledge, information, skills do you need to acquire?) How to measure the perimeter and area of complicated shapes

To acquire that knowledge, I will use: (What specific resources will you use?) My textbook, classmates, teacher, and internet

To determine whether I have achieved that goal(s), I will: (What criteria will you use to determine whether you have met your goal?) The results of my beginning and end of unit tests

To demonstrate that I have achieved my goal(s), I will: (How will you prove that you have achieved your goal?) Show some pictures of a few pages from my Room Renovation project, which involved using a budget to 'purchase' items for redecorating my room, as well as measuring the area of the walls and furniture.

EVIDENCE You measure the perimeter of complicated shapes by measuring the length of all the sides then adding them together. You measure the area of complicated shapes by cutting them off into simpler shapes like rectangles and triangles, finding their area, then adding your answers together.
