Here's what I have for the lesson introduction. Let me know what you both think -- I can made edits or additions as necessary. Once it's good to go, I can also export it into a PDF to attach with our submission, but will also add the link to the GoogleDoc write-up.

If you guys need me for anything else do not hesitate to ask, I get email, google, and Padlet updates all directly to my phone so I can be back on in a jiffy. For now I have to go tend to my sick baby boy.

So I guess our next step is to figure out how to tie everything together...honestly I am a little confused about how/what we create for this....

# data[].attributes.body
What about something like this?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This task has students exploring the effects of changing the size of rectangles, triangles, and circles on area and perimeter. It also has students thinking about the connection and difference between area and perimeter.

These are somethings I found for High School geometry on our county resource site...anything of them look like they might work?

I know we are looking at area, but what should be the purpose of the instruction? If we are trying to keep it compatible over different grade spans, or are we trying to elevate their learning from one grade to the next?

What about modeling our rubric after something like this?

Explore the nets of the geometric solids prism, cube and pyramid and rebuild them using geometric figures.

I found some cool activities for investigations with area and nets using GeoGebra. It would connect to this 6th grade standard --
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.G.A.4 Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

This would be a good one to use SketchUp.

I agree that area is a good topic to cover since the concept spans across multiple levels. Thanks for pulling the CCSS for the different grade levels, Katy. I'll take a look at the activities you shared, Katelyn.

I like the idea of using Area, I took a look at the Common Core standards and in High School Geometry one of the standards is related to modeling with geometry which I think we could totally do with area.- Katy

Awesome ideas for "interactive notebooks"!  She teaches middle school math but her ideas could be adapted to any grade

This is something I found that covers area on the Elementary level. It says 3rd grade but I think we could adapt it to 1st or 2nd depending on the class.

Dream House: An Additive Area Project (3rd Grade Common Core)

# data[].attributes.body
Hey I was looking into some ideas for our project, mainly what content we should focus on. I believe it was Annette who was interested in math, I am indifferent as to what we choose but I did run with the math idea. I know we have to cover content that can span across age groups/grade levels so I thought the idea of Area would be fun. I am including some activities I found that can be adapted to elementary, middle school, and high school. I also know that choosing Area will make it simple to implement the GeoGebra program which I know we need to have multiple dynamics for our activities. Anyways, let me know what you think. If you don't like my ideas it is no biggie I can try again :)

This is also elementary level, but it is a little more into the creative aspect. Little more manipulation and focuses on actually building the dream house. This might be more 3rd, 4th, even 5th grade level.
