OBJ: Determine the area and perimeter using different techniques/strategies (such as Pythagorean Theorem, logical reasoning or square roots).
Materials: One Geoboard per student and about 5-8 rubber bands.
Students are to create different squares and determine the area. Students will be told that the distance from each peg is one unit. Students will be encouraged to show of the different types of squares that they found, and to explain how they found the area. After the show and tell, they will be asked how you can determine the perimeter of the squares. Students may show combinations of different techniques and completely different strategies to come up with area and perimeter.
