Learning Target Exit Slip: Perimeter and Area on the Coordinate Plane
A Learning Activity is a strategy a teacher chooses to actively
engage students in learning a concept or skill using a digital tool/resource.
You may save this Learning Activity to your hard drive as an .html file by

Phase:
After/Explain/Elaborate
Activity:
The teacher will provide students with the link to the Google Form using a learning platform such as Google Classroom, Canvas, etc.
The students will complete the exit slip by answering the questions on the Google Form. Students will begin the activity by rating their understanding of computing perimeters of polygons and the area of triangles and rectangles in the coordinate plane. Finally, students will respond to a short answer question in order to demonstrate mastery of computing the perimeter and area of a triangle.
Students will then submit their responses and receive immediate feedback.
Assessment Strategies:
The Google Form will serve as an assessment.
Teachers may require students to answer the optional question "Do you have any questions for your teacher regarding the use of coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles using the distance formula and dynamic geometry software?" of the Google Form.
Advanced Preparation:
Students will need internet access and a device.
The activity will need to be shared with students on an online learning platform such as Google Classroom, Canvas, etc.
