The instructional coach in the video shows how each grade level’s measurement content builds students’ capacity to understand perimeter in fifth grade. As you watch your video, think about the following questions:
- Measuring with centimeter cubes and inch cubes allow students to have several mathematical takeaways. What were some mentioned in the video?
- Why is it important for students to experience measuring with concrete models such as centimeter and inch cubes?
- What does it mean that “units of measure are continuous?”
- How is measuring an object like a pencil related to understanding perimeter?
- What were your takeaways?
After fully viewing your video, please construct a well-written response of 100 words or more describing what you observed, also addressing the questions above.
