 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit, students will learn about problem solving that involves area and perimeter. They will begin the unit by focusing on the units of measurement, and how to properly use them when dealing with perimeter and area. In lesson two, students will be exploring how polygons can break down into regular polygons which can be easier to find the area of. Lesson three builds upon the previous lesson, and challenges students to find the area and perimeters of different irregular polygons, while lesson four will have the students thinking about how to change a polygon, but have the area and perimeter remain the same. The fifth lesson will havve the students using these skills to answer problems that involve the area for any polygon, circle, or combination. The unit will be wrapped up as students argue the importance of units by using the knowledge they have gained throughout the lesson. Through the use of technology and various activities, the students will be involved and engaged during this unit, therefore enhancing their learning experience.
