Geometry
This is the measurement of the distance around a two dimensionl shape.
What is perimeter?
This number in a fraction gives us the number of equal parts the whole is divided into.
What is the denominator?
This is a frequency graph that we have used several times in data collection activities.
What is a line plot?
When students know their facts well, they are said to have this.

This method of instruction is the main focus of our text book.
What is CGI or Cognitively Guided Instruction?
A rectangle, square and parallelogram all belong to this category of polygons.
What are quadrilaterals?
When we fold pieces of paper into equal parts to represent fractions of a whole, we are using this model.

What is assessment?
This is a measure related to covering a 2-dimensional shape.
Multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number is a way to find these.
What are equivalent fractions?
Finding the sum of all the data points in a set and then dividing by the sum by the number of data points to find the mean is an example of this kind of knowledge.
