2. Geometrical Exiting, Before Lunch
During this activity, each student will be given an index card before exiting the classroom for lunch. They have time between exiting the classroom and arriving to the cafeteria to provide an oral response for the exercise on their index card. The exercises will include some of, but won’t be limited to the following:
- What is the area of a rectangle with three rows of two cubed blocks in each row?
- Define the term perimeter.
- Each pentomino transformation (rotations, reflections and translations) holds the perimeter and area constant. True or False and explain your answer.
- What is an array?
- What is the best hands on way to find the volume of a box?
- True or False. The area of an object requires a cubic unit for the answer.
- True of False. Pentominoes are five congruent squares, connected along their edges.
I will gather additional questions that are relevant to the concepts in this unit in order to have one question for each student in my class. These tickets can be traded among students during the next Geometrical Exiting exercise.
