The student will complete a task where they are given 50 feet of fencing. They have to design the largest area of garden using all of the fencing. Students must explore circles, right triangles, and rectangles. Students will be using the formulas of area and perimeter and circumference to calculate perimeter and area. This task was created with Jamboard to allow students to collaborate together in person or remotely, in real time, as well as allowing the teacher to view students' work in progress. The initial slide presents the task and provides the formulas for each shape’s area and perimeter. The subsequent slides provide workspace for students’ thinking and collaboration. The last slide is a conclusion slide. Here students tell which shape they chose, give the measurements, and justification

Students develop and solidify their understanding of the concept of "perimeter" as they engage in a portion of the civil engineering task of land surveying. Specifically, they measure and calculate the perimeter of a fenced in area of "farmland," and see that this length is equivalent to the minimum required length of a fence to enclose it. Doing this for variously shaped areas confirms that the perimeter is the minimal length of fence required to enclose those shapes. Then students use the technology of a LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robot to automate this task. After measuring the perimeter (and thus required fence length) of the "farmland," students see the NXT robot travel around this length, just as a surveyor might travel around an area during the course of surveying land or measuring for fence materials. While practicing their problem solving and measurement skills, students learn and reinforce their scientific and geometric vocabulary.
