4. Discovering Math: Geometry
Watch the KLRN video segment: Congruent and Similar Shapes.
With a partner: Each person needs a geoboard, rubber bands, and dot paper. One student will create a shape on their geoboard. Then the second student will create a similar shape and a congruent shape on their board. Copy your figures onto dot paper.

5. Discovering Math: Measurement
Watch the KLRN video segment: Areas and Perimeters
When you are at the station you will use a ruler, tape measure, or yardstick to find the perimeter and area of each shape. Record your information in the Perimeter and Area Chart.
Prior to class set up the area and perimeter station with copies of the Perimeter and Area Shapes sheet, copies of the Perimeter and Area Chart, and measuring tools. After reviewing the measurements, draw studentsﾕ attention to the station. Tell them when they are at the station they will use a ruler, tape measure, or yardstick to find the perimeter and area of each shape. They should record their information in the Perimeter and Area Chart.

7. Discovering Math: Measurement
Watch the KLRN video segment: Example 1: Distance- Inches, Feet and Yards
Fill out the paper, Choose the Appropriate Unit Chart. Identify five objects that would be measured in inches, five objects that would be measured in feet, and five objects that would be measured in yards and record the objects in the chart. Then identify the appropriate unit of measurement for each object. Estimate each object’s length using that unit of measurement. Use a ruler, tape measure, or yardstick (as appropriate) to find the actual lengths.
