Standard 5.MT.1 - Given the perimeter of a figure, calculate the missing side.
Included Skills: Geometry
Attributes, Units, and Measurement Sense • estimate, measure (i.e., using an analogue clock), and represent time intervals to the nearest second; • estimate and determine elapsed time, with and without using a time line, given the durations of events expressed in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years (Sample problem: You are travelling from Toronto to Montreal by train. If the train departs Toronto at 11:30 a.m. and arrives in Montreal at 4:56 p.m., how long will you be on the train?); • measure and record temperatures to determine and represent temperature changes over time (e.g., record temperature changes in an experiment or over a season) (Sample problem: Investigate the relationship between weather, climate, and temperature changes over time in different locations.); • estimate and measure the perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons, using a variety of tools (e.g., grid paper, geoboard, dynamic geometry software) and strategies.
