Area of Polygons
We recently had a half day of school which dramatically decreased our class time. As a good review before their exam, students were given a polygon and asked to measure it, and to construct a poster including the area formula and showing all the work of how they "plugged" in their measurements into the formula. Extra credit was given to those students who decided to also compute the perimater. All materials were supplied by the teacher.

That is a great idea. I think using that for a review would be a great way to break up the review into little chunks.
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea. I will try it with weak areas to prepare my students for end of year assessments.
