=__Description__ = = = Lesson Objective: Students will apply measurement concepts inorder to estimate and determine the perimeter and area of geometric pictures on a grid.

Geometric pictures and figures were drawn on a grid and displayed. The students were instructed to determine both the area and perimeter of the pictures. The lesson was conducted using the "I Do", "We Do", "You Do". Initially, several whole class examples were provided and the students were encouraged to count the squares for area out loud and to count around the figure. Next students were given opportunities to determine the area and perimeter in small groups. One member of each group led the class in reviewing the area and perimeter. Finally, students were given shapes to copy onto their grid paper and then to determine the area and perimeter independently. = = =media type="custom" key="6331671"= = = =__Reflection__ = The document camera is a true gem. It makes teaching my students a lot easier. My first group of students is the inclusion class. Being able to project images on a large surface helps to keep them engaged and helps them to keep up. It goes withoug saying that My Advanced Learners class benefits as well. It is helpful in displaying class notes, homework, BCR's, student samples. Turning and adjusting the lens allows me to project 3-D representations as well. One of my favorite things to do with the document camera is to display student written BCR's. By covering the name, and projecting the BCR for all to see, the entire class has an opportunity to evaluate the responses of their classmates in a non-threatening constructive manner. My students are exposed to various solutions/methods to solving a problem as well as being able to learn from the mistakes of their classmates.
