Use Rectangles to draw a robot with specifi ed perimeter measuements, and reason about the diff erent areas that may be produced.

MODULE 7LESSONS 24-27

MONDAY:LESSON 24

This week we will be making a robot and placing it in an environment that we create for it. Our robot will be created from rectangles we make.

TODAY we are planning the dimensions of each rectangle from given perimeters.

You will need: Problem Set, Scratch Paper, Pencil

MONDAY:LESSON 24

For each part of our robot we have been given a perimeter for the rectangle, and we need to figure out the side lengths that we could use to create the rectangles. We will do the first one together, then you can figure out the remaining side lengths on your own.

ARM: Perimeter = 14 cm5 cm

2 cm

5 cm

2 cm

2 + 2 + 5 + 5 = 14 cm

Width and Length =2 cm x 5 cm

MONDAY:LESSON 24

For each part of our robot we have been given a perimeter for the rectangle, and we need to figure out side lengths that we need to use to create rectangles. We will do the first one together, then you can figure out the remaining side lengths on your own.

ARM: Perimeter = 14 cm4 cm

3 cm

4 cm

3 cm

3 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 14 cm

Width and Length =3 cm x 4 cm

MONDAY:LESSON 24

For each part of our robot we have been given a perimeter for the rectangle, and we need to figure out side lengths that we need to use to create rectangles. We will do the first one together, then you can figure out the remaining side lengths on your own.

ARM: Perimeter = 14 cm6 cm

1 cm 6

cm

1 cm

1 + 1 + 6 + 6 = 14 cm

Width and Length =1 cm x 6 cm

MONDAY:LESSON 24

Now work on finding the side lengths for the remaining parts of your robot.We will work

individually for 15-20 minutes, then I will have

you trade problem sets with a partner to check our

work.

TUESDAY:LESSON 25

Today we are going to create our robot! You will need:

Problem Set from MondayOne large piece 12 x 18 construction paper¼ piece Orange construction paper¼ piece Blue construction paper½ piece Red construction paper½ piece Black construction paperPencilScissorsGlueCrayons or Markers to decorate the robot.

We will pass these supplies out now. Please raise your hand if you are missing something!

TUESDAY:LESSON 25

Please fold your large piece of construction paper in half, then unfold it and assemble your robot on the RIGHT side.

Use your problem set, ruler and pencil to draw the rectangular parts of your robot. Use the ruler to measure and draw the side lengths you decided on yesterday.Use the construction paper like this:

Orange: HeadBlue: NeckRed: Body Black: Arms & Legs

Once you have you completed drawing the rectangles, raise your hand and I will check your measurements and give you the OK to cut out your robot and glue it on the paper.

Then, you may use crayons or markers to decorate the ROBOT ONLY! We will be designing a background for it on Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY:LESSON 26

Today you are going to create an ENVIRONMENT for your robot.

Remember, an environment is the surrounding in which something lives or

operates, so BE CREATIVE!!

Our Environment will be on the LEFT side of the construction paper we used on

Tuesday.

YOU WILL NEED FIRST:Sketch Paper

THENLarge Construction Paper From Tuesday½ Sheets Of Colored Construction Paper

RulerScissors

GlueMarkers Or Crayons

WEDNESDAY:LESSON 26

On Your Sketch Paper Design An Environment That Includes At Least

One Each Of The Following Polygons:

TrapezoidRhombusParallelogram SquareRectangleTriangle

ANDAt your choice of one regular and

one irregular of the following polygons:

Pentagon HexagonHeptagon Octagon

ANDAt least one CIRCLE

When you have completed your sketch,

Raise your hand. If it looks good, I will give you construction paper to measure and cut out the

shapes and create the environment you have designed.

THURSDAY:LESSON 27

Robot Museum!

Today we will display our robots on our desks. I will give each robot a number.

Your job is to evaluate at least two robots made by classmates. Please identify the robots you evaluate by their number!

You will need:

Problem SetPencilRuler

Please display your robots on your desks now.

THURSDAY:LESSON 27

When I say “MIX!” you may move around the room. When I say “MATCH!” stop and

evaluate the nearest robot.

Measure the rectangles and decide whether this student did a good job of

creating the right sized rectangles!

Make a note or two because you are going to tell me why you like this robot and whether the student did a great job!

THURSDAY:LESSON 27

Now return to your seat and finish the last two problems.
