Lesson Narrative
In previous lessons, students learned how to identify different types of quadrilaterals and solve problems involving area and perimeter. In this lesson students put all of their learning together to analyze geometric attributes of wax prints, and design a wax print of their own with specific constraints about the shapes they need to use. Then students use what they know about area and perimeter to solve problems that involve wax print fabric.
- Action and Expression
- MLR8
- Create and describe (orally) a design made from quadrilaterals that follows given constraints.
- Determine the information needed to solve two-step word problems involving area and perimeter. Ask (orally) questions to elicit that information.
- Analicemos y hagamos algunos estampados de cera.
Required Materials
Activity 1
Required Preparation
- Each group of 2 students will need a copy of the 2 data and problem card sets. Keep set 1 separate from set 2.
Teacher Reflection Questions
What do your students think it means to be good at math? How are you helping them change negative impressions they might have about their ability to reason mathematically?
