Students will be shown different layouts of hotel rooms and be given a survey about which one was their favorite. The students will interpret the data to try to explain why certain rooms were more favorable than others. Students will then be given graph paper and asked to design their own hotel room. Students will determine the area and perimeter of the objects in their hotel rooms. Lastly, students will be shown the actual area and perimeter of hotel room items to compare to the ones that they created.

Measuring distance to determine perimeter -- Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 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.

Perimeter with missing sides is a skill that my students need lots of practice with.  After we practice together, measuring around a polygon, I have them practice finding the perimeter by playing this game, Perimeter with Missing Sides Game.  The game was made with Google Slides so it can be played whole group or assigned in Google Classroom for students to work on individually.  This game supports sol 3.8a, measuring the distance around a polygon in order to determine its perimeter using U.S. Customary and metric units.  I created this game in order to give my students fun practice in a virtual setting but I’m able to use it with both in person and virtual students.   

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.
