3rd Grade EIP Math
Week of March 8 - 12, 2010
What are we learning this week...
Hello Parents!
This week's math standards will be:
M3N3b: Understand the concept of perimeter as being the boundary of a simple geometric figure.
M3A1b: Describe and explain a quantitative relationship represented by a formula (such as the perimeter of a geometric figure)
M3M4b: Model (by tiling) the area of a simple geometric figure using square unites (square inch, square foot, etc)
M3M4c: Determine the area of squares and rectangles by counting, adding, and multiplying with models.
This week we will begin AREA and PERIMETER.
We will learn that the distance around a figure is called its PERIMETER.
We will also learn that the number of square units needed to cover a flat surface is called the AREA.
Your child will need to understand the following formulas:
Area = length x width
Perimeter = length + width + length + width
