Measuring Area and Perimeter using US Customary and Metric units - Mathematics Instructional Plan

Standard of Learning (SOL) 3.8a
The student will estimate and measure the distance around a polygon in order to determine its perimeter using U.S. Customary and metric units.

Standard of Learning (SOL) 3.8b
The student will estimate and count the number of square units needed to cover a given surface in order to determine its area.

Measuring area and perimeter, using U.S. Customary and metric units -- Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the  Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Description: Students will be able to observe and provide evidence of soil erosion around the schoolyard, create and implement a plan to reduce erosion, and create a proposal for cost and resources needed to implement the plan.
