Outcomes

5.M2.05

Determine, through investigation using a variety of tools (e.g., concrete materials, dynamic geometry software, grid paper) and strategies (e.g., building arrays), the relationships between the length and width of a rectangle and its area and perimeter, and generalize to develop the formulas [i.e., Area = length x width; Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)]

5.M2.06

Solve problems requiring the estimation and calculation of perimeters and areas of rectangles
