Perimeter Investigation
Perimeter Investigation
- Measure and cut out 6 equally sized rectangles where the long side is double the length of the short side e.g. 10 cm x 5 cm
- Investigation: Arrange the rectangles to create a shape with the largest perimeter (see picture as example).
- How many different perimeters can the 6 rectangles make?
EXTENSION:
Investigate with different number of rectangles (e.g. only use 5 rectangles, make one more, etc.)
Can you see patterns or make predictions?
