Carlos build a corral out of cubes for his toy horses.
The corral is a rectangle that is 8 inches by 3 inches.
What is the length of the corral?
What is the width of the corral?
How many sides are 8 in. long?
Sketch the corral.
How many sides are 3 in. wide?
What is its perimeter?
Gladys drew a polygon with these attributes. It has 4 sides.
It has 2 pairs of congruent sides. It has 2 pairs of parallel sides. Two of its
angles are greater than right angles, and two angles are less than right angles.
Which kinds of polygons are
quadrilaterals (exactly four sides)?
Which kinds of quadrilaterals have
exactly 2 pairs of congruent sides?
Which kinds of quadrilaterals have
2 pairs of parallel sides?
Which kinds of quadrilaterals have 2
angles smaller than right angles and
two angles greater than right angles?
Which polygon did Gladys draw?

Marco says: “Use the clues. Find point P on the coordinate grid. Start at 0.
First go across 3 lines. Then go up 1 line. Mark a dot where the lines cross.
From which point do you start? Write the
coordinates of the point you start from.

tell how many to count up or down.
Connect the points in order to make a polygon.
Plot A at (8, 0); B at (8, 4);
C at (4, 7); D at (0, 4); E at (0, 0)
Why do you have to connect point E
to point A to complete a polygon?
How many sides does your polygon
have?

Juana drew a rectangle with 6 rows of 8 squares.
Draw Juana’s rectangle. Then find the area.
How many squares are in each row?
How many rows of squares are there?
What is the area of the rectangle?
What multiplication expression can you
write to find the area of the rectangle?
