MTH 214 Wk 4 Discussion – Perimeter vs. Surface Area

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

This week focuses on applications of measurement. One of the basic concepts of geometry is for students to learn to calculate the perimeter and area of two-dimensional shapes. Eventually students begin to calculate surface area and volume for three-dimensional shapes.

How can you explain to students the difference between the perimeter and area of two-dimensional shapes and surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes? Explain and provide specific examples. What activities might you use to help students understand the differences? Explain and provide rationale to support your choice of activities.
