I saw some pins on Pinterest where teachers took tape and masked off tiled areas to measure (as well as figure the perimeters.) Some used floor tiles, but I used the wall tiles, just seemed easier to count on the wall. I taped off the areas on our wall and added QR codes so the kids could check their answers with i-pads. They had to answer in their math spirals first. (I like this site for QR code generation: https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/ and I use the Inigma app for the reader. There are lots of others, but these two work great!)
Julie, I did this same activity this week! Ha! I did put the masking tape on the floor...but shh...don't tell my custodian! Erin Short and Sassy Teacher
Hi Erin! Funny you did this activity too...it must have been "National Masking Tape Week!" While I was taping off these shapes, our fourth grade was doing the same thing down the hall, literally at the exact same time. Pinteresting!
