Set C1 Geometry: Tringles & Qudrilterls Set C1 H Activity 3 ctivity Finding the Perimeter & Are of Prllelogrm Overview Students find the perimeter nd re of n index crd, then cut the crd nd tpe the two resulting pieces together to form prllelogrm tht is not rectngle. Then they find the perimeter nd re of the prllelogrm. As they do so, they discover tht multiplying the length of one side y the other does not yield the re of non-rectngulr prllelogrm. After students investigte further y creting two more prllelogrms, the techer shres the formul for finding the re of prllelogrm, nd sks the clss to explin nd pply it. Skills & Concepts H clssify qudrilterls H determine the formul for the re of prllelogrm y relting it to the re of rectngle H use formuls to determine the perimeters nd res of rectngles nd prllelogrms You ll need H Strt with Rectngle (pge C1.30, run copy on trnsprency) H Squre Inch Grid Pper (pge C1.31, run severl clss sets nd one copy on trnsprency) H Finding the Are of Prllelogrms (pges C1.32 nd C1.33, run clss set) H pper to msk prts of the overhed H overhed pens H 3" x 5" index crds or pieces of construction pper, 3 per student H clss set of rulers H scissors H severl rolls of scotch tpe H use pproprite tools nd units to mesure ojects to the precision of one-eighth inch Instructions for Finding the Perimeter & Are of Prllelogrm 1. Write the words perimeter nd re on the ord. Hve students pir-shre the definition of ech term, nd then sk volunteers to shre their definitions with the clss. Briefly review the formuls for finding the perimeter (2l + 2w) nd re (l w) of rectngle, nd give students ech n index crd. Ask students to mesure the length nd the width of the index crd in inches, nd use the informtion to find its perimeter nd the re. Hve them use piece of scrtch pper or the crd itself if they need to do ny writing s they determine these mesurements. 2. When most students hve finished, disply just the first instruction on the Strt with Rectngle overhed, nd work with input from the clss to record the perimeter nd re of the index crd. Then revel the second tsk on the overhed. Write 3" in the lnk s you red the instruction with the clss, nd give students time to mesure nd mrk their crds s specified. Ask them to e s precise s possile in their mesurements. Show the rest of the tsks on the overhed one y one. Red ech tsk with the clss nd give students time to complete it efore moving on to the next. Tke time to discuss ech question, nd record the nswers on the overhed. Ask students to e certin they hve formed prllelogrm tht is not rectngle efore they use ny scotch tpe.

The lst question on the overhed Are of prlellogrm sks students = se height or to h find the perimeter nd re of the prllelogrm they formed when they cut nd tped the index crd. When you rech this point, mke squre-inch grid height (h) h pper ville, nd give students some time to investigte t their tles. Some my elieve tht the re is still 15 squre inches ecuse they didn t dd nything se () or tke nything wy when they formed their prllelogrm. Press them to find wy to prove this, using the grid pper or some other method. Other students my need to trce the prllelogrm onto the grid pper nd count the squres nd tringles to discover tht the re hs remined the sme, even though the perimeter hs chnged. 4. When most students hve found the perimeter nd re of the prllelogrm, reconvene the clss. Ask volunteers to shre their results nd strtegies. Most will likely report tht the perimeter is 18 1 /2 inches, nd the re is 15 squre inches. Here re some questions to pose during the discussion: Is the perimeter of the prllelogrm the sme s the perimeter of the originl rectngle? Why or why not? Is the re the sme? Why or why not? Does the formul for finding the perimeter of rectngle still work with this prllelogrm? Does the formul for finding the re of rectngle help you find the re of the prllelogrm? If so, how? If not, why? Students The perimeter chnged when we mde the crd into prllelogrm. It ws 3 y 5, so the perimeter ws 16 inches. Now it s out 4 1 /4 inches long the digonl side nd still 5 inches long the top. Two times 5 is 10, nd two times 4 1 /4 is 8 1 /2, so tht s 18 1 / 2 inches now insted of 16. When you cut it on the digonl like tht, it definitely mkes the sides longer. Students It s still 15 squre inches for the re, though. We trced it on the grid pper nd counted the squres nd tringles. It cme out to e exctly 15 squre inches.

Set C1 Geometry: Tringles & Qudrilterls Activity 3 Finding the Perimeter & Are of Prllelogrm (cont.) You cn t use the regulr formul to find the re of the prllelogrm. If you multiply 4 1 /4 times 5, it s more thn 20 squre inches. But you cn see tht the re is relly 15 squre inches, not 20 squre inches. I know one-fourth is.25, so I put in 5 4.25 on my clcultor. It cme out to e 21.25. Tht s 21 1 /4 squre inches, ut the prllelogrm is relly only 15 squre inches. 5. Work with students input to summrize their findings y sketching the rectngle nd the prllelogrm on the whiteord nd recording the perimeter nd re of ech. P = 16 in P = 18 1 /2 in 6. Erse the overhed. Give students ech nother index crd. Repet the process second time, ut hve them mesure nd mrk over 2 inches insted of 3 inches this time. When they cut long the line, they will discover tht they hve formed right sclene tringle nd trpezoid. Hve them comine these two shpes to mke second prllelogrm, nd find the perimeter nd re of this figure. Invite couple of volunteers to trce their new prllelogrms on the Squre Inch Grid overhed nd shre their strtegies for determining the re. 3 9 3 3 + 9 + 3 = 15 sq. in. Toy s Strtegy Eric s Strtegy Toy I just imgined cutting off the tringle t this end nd sliding it over to the other side. You cn see it will still e 15 squre inches. Eric I surrounded the tringle t this end with rectngle. Tht rectngle is 6, so the tringle is 3 squre inches. If you do tht with the tringles t oth ends, nd then dd their res to the squre in the middle, it comes out to e 3 + 9 + 3, nd tht s 15 squre inches. Bridges in Mthemtics Grde 5 Supplement C1.27
