COLORADO MATH

12/2/2019

 
Last week, we did some real world math.  We were challenged to find the perimeter and area of Colorado.  It's trickier than it sounds.  We had to use the scale on the map, a ruler, some addition, and big multiplication to figure it out.  Check out some of our strategies below!

PERIMETER

Picture
First, measure the map and convert inches to miles. Then add the length of all four sides together to find the perimeter.

You have to add all the 50s together. It helps to add in parts and then find the total after you have some bigger numbers.

AREA

Picture
The area is complicated. We haven't learned traditional multiplication yet, but we can break it apart and multiply each part by each part.
Picture
For an extra challenge, we subdivided Colorado into it's regions and found the area of each region. This is an estimated area of the High Plains.
