T763 MODELING Comparing Areas when Perimeter Stays the Same Step 1: Direct students attention to the word problem on the bottom half of S254 (T773). Read the problem together. Partner A, identify a math term that we use when talking about a length of fence. (perimeter) Partner B, explain how to find the area of a rectangle. (Multiply the length and width of the rectangle.) Step 2: Explain to students that they will be using the concepts of perimeter and area to create rectangles that will represent the puppy pens. They will use centimeter cubes to build the puppy pens and each cm will represent one foot in real life. Step 3: Look at the chart together and identify each column. Partner A, what information is given in the chart? (perimeter) Partner B, compare the perimeter in every row of the chart. (24 cm) Have partners discuss possible explanations for the consistent measurement of 24 cm. (There are 24 feet of fence, so every rectangle we make has to have a perimeter of 24.) Step 4: Model for the students how to find the dimensions of the first rectangle. Partner A, identify the smallest possible width for the rectangle. (1 cube or 1 cm) Partner B, place a 1 cm cube on the graph paper on S255 and determine the perimeter. (4 cm) Partner A, add a second cube next to the first cube and determine the perimeter with 2 cubes. (6 cm) Partner B, add a third cube and determine the perimeter with 3 cubes. (8 cm) Continue modeling and have partners place additional cubes in the row and count the perimeter until there is a perimeter of 24 cm. How many cm cubes are in the row? (11)
