In this new scope, students will learn how to use addition to find the perimeter of polygons; how to exhibit rectangles with the same area but different perimeters; how to determine an unknown side length of a polygon if the total perimeter and other side lengths are known; and how to recognize when a problem’s solution involves finding perimeter.

We will read Moonshot, an informational text about the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Students will preview the text and illustrations to gather observations and questions before listening to the text read aloud. Students will also examine in detail how Brian Floca uses sequence to present the events of the Apollo 11 mission.
