Calculating perimeter can be a bit, er, repetitive.
Estimating can be a bit, er, repetitive.
So, you've been studying perimeter. You've measured, you've done 2(A+B), the trundle wheels have been out, you've costed a new fence for the school field and more...
You've tried and tried to convince your class of the virtues of estimating, but they think you're just balmy.
Well, we like this task!
In the task the contestants have to estimate the perimeter of the caravan in baked beans. So, perimeter of the field in beans, the perimeter of the school hall in paper clips, the perimeter of a maths book in dice and so on...
Same learning, same objectives, but in a different way. Mix things up and get 'em thinking! Let us know how y'all get on...
