TEACHER FACILITATED LESSONS: LENGTH

What is a Teacher Facilitated Lesson?

Teacher Facilitated lessons are lessons that can be downloaded from the internet to your own computer for use in the classroom. These activities offer opportunities for students learn particular math concepts either AT the computer or AWAY from the computer. These lessons are facilitated by the teacher to some degree.

These files are available to you in both the WORD (.doc) and PDF format so that you can take the activity "as is" (PDF) or take it in a form that you can easily modify (.doc) to suit your own needs.

Understanding Length and Area Using Geoboards: The objective of this activity is to use Geoboards to explore length and area.	Understanding Length and Area Using Geoboards	Understanding Length and Area Using Geoboards
Perimeter, Area and Formulas: This lesson examines the formulas used for calculating the area of a rectangle, triangle, square and proving Pythagorean’s Theorem.	Perimeter, Area and Formulas	Perimeter, Area and Formulas
Exploring Length - An Activity Centre Based Lesson: Students explore measuring length and converting units of measurement.	Exploring Length - An Activity Centre Based Lesson	Exploring Length - An Activity Centre Based Lesson
Converting Units of Measure - Using Mnemonics : This lesson introduces students to a method of converting one metric unit to another. This method uses a mnemonic device strategy, which assist students in remembering the method.	Converting Units of Measure - Using Mnemonics	Converting Units of Measure - Using Mnemonics
Perimeter and Area: This lesson reviews the concept of area and perimeter and encourages students to make connections about the relationships between the length, width and area of rectangles. Students also examine how the area and perimeter measurements may change when 2 or more figures are put together.	Perimeter and Area	Perimeter and Area
