Find the perimeter of a rectangle (10cm/ 6cm = 32cm)
ACMMG109)
20 min Body (Exploration/transformation/ presentation)
Next, using their textbooks (grid paper) Ask students to draw
a shape based upon a description of its area and/or
perimeter.
Draw a square with an area of 9cm2
Draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 15cm
Draw a rectangle that has a perimeter of 14cm and an
area of 10cm2
Next, students will calculate the area and perimeter using
the Minecraft worksheets. For students that will find this
task too basic, give them a blank piece of grid paper and
make them create their own grid monster with their own
area and perimeter in which they can allow their friends to
work out.
10 min Conclusion (Presentation/Reflection)
Whole class reflection. Students will present their finalised
work as a class. Teacher will observe each work to see how
everyone went with finding/creating their “Minecraft
monsters” using area and perimeter.
