Unit: Length, Area, Surface Area and Volume

Topic: Length and Perimeter
Aim: To grow in understanding and fluency in converting one-dimensional units and finding perimeter.
The Big Picture of the lesson: How is the perimeter of any shape found?
Syllabus Outcomes: MA5.2-1WM, MA5.2-2WM, MA4-12MG
General capabilities: Critical and creative thinking (mathematical problem solving), literacy (mathematical terminology), numeracy (statistical fluency and
understanding)
Students learn to: Convert units of length into different forms and find the perimeter Students learn about: length conversion, perimeter of composite shapes
of composite shapes.
Resources: Teacher slides, student workbooks, student exercise booklets, diagnostic Assessment: Diagnostic assessment, informal formative assessment, formal
test, exit slip forms summative assessment
