**__Task 4:__ “Saving Sir Cumference** **”** (asynchronous discussion)

Read: Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi by Cindy Neuschwander. Click here to access the story online. []

Post this on the Blog page on our clas​sroom website. S​olve this riddle by following the instructions below: The Circle’s Measure

Measure the middle and circle around, Divide so a number can be found. Every circle, great and small- The number is the same for all. It’s also the dose, so be clever. Or a dragon he will stay… Forever…

​1. Use a measuring cup to find the diameter and circumference of at least 5 different circular objects. Discuss with your group how to record your data. Create a table.

2. Use the centimeter grid paper to make a coordinate graph. Use the horizontal axis for diameter and the vertical axis for circumference. Plot your data for each object your group measured on the graph.

3. Study your table and your graph. Look for patterns and relationships that allow you to predict the circumference using the diameter. Test your ideas on other circular object. Once you think you have found a pattern, answer the following questions below:

· What is the relationship between the diameter and the circumference of a circle?

· What does or should Radius give Sir Cumference? How d​o you know this is the correct does?

__ **Task 4 P​art 2** __ Blog​ p​ost a​synchronous discussion


 * Post a Blog and discuss your findings. Respond to at least two classmates. **

**__ Task 5: “What’s My Area?” __** wiki (asynchronous activity)


 * There is no formula to find the area of this design.**

1. Can you find the total area?

· Measure each segme​nt of the perimeter to the nearest millimeter (mm).  · Calculate the total area  · Include an explanation of your work.

2. Can you create a formula to help find the area of this design? Include an explanation of your work.

3. Can you create a formula to help find the area of this design?

__** Task 5 (part 2) **__ Blog and discussion (asynchronous discussion)

**Post your find​ings on Week 2's classroom blog. Then visit your group members’ blog sites and respond to at least two classmates. Discuss how your answers are like and different.**

__**Culminating Activity: “King Author's Floor Plan”**__ Wiki (synchronous activity) and Group Assignment

Taking what you learned during the King Arthur’s New Table group activity, you will now help King Arthur’s contractors build new houses for his knights. Your group is the King’s budget consultants, and you are all responsible for identifying how many square feet of subfloor or plywood material is needed to cover the floor plan. Since times are tough within the kingdom, the King has instructed you to look at five different plans and advise him about the three least expensive floor plans to build for his knights. Since the appliances and fixtures are in a separate budget, you don’t have to worry about the cost for these furnishings.

​Using the home wiki page, work collaborative with your group to decide which 3 floor plans will save King Arthur the most money. Show your work and publish your performance task on the wiki.

Respond to at least two of your fellow classmates on their calculations and recommendations.

**Learning Objectives**:

For this activity, students must:

· Understand area. · Know how to find the area of a square, rectangle, and parallelogram. · Know how to find the area of a composite shape. <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· Be able to multiply (2 digit x 2 digit numbers) and (2 digit x 3 digit numbers).
