Finding Perimeter of a Shape

Task Description:

For maths, our task was to go into groups of 3 and choose one from the measurement equipment pile.  I was in a group with Phyu sin and Stephanie.Then, we could have fun with the equipment for 5 min! After that, you had to make a shape and find it’s perimeter. Because the sides of our shape were curved, we had to use a flax and curve it over the shape and then measure how many centimetres the flax was. After we found the perimeter we had to convert it to millimetres, centimetres, and meters.

The perimeter of our shape was 84 cm. So, 84 cm, 840 mm and 0.84 m.
