Time Instructional Procedures and Strategies

Beginning the Lesson
1. Review what did they learned last time?
Perimeter and area
2. Each of the student will get the grid paper like this :

And they will cut it and paste it on the color paper: They can use the grid to make
anything they want, for example I made a elephant here:

Area: 74
Perimeter: 64
3. After the work, ask students to find the area and perimeter.
4. They will find that counting the answer is not always an effective way to do this, after
this teacher will introduce the formula
Developing the Lesson
