M.EE.7.G.4: Determine the perimeter of a rectangle by adding the measures of the sides.

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

  • 7.G.4 - Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.

Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

Recognize attributes or characteristics of an object, such as color, orientation, length, width, and weight.

Distal Precursor

Recognize and explain measurable (e.g., height, depth, diameter, weight) and non-measurable (e.g., color or orientation) attribute values.

Proximal Precursor

Communicate understanding that length is the measure along a side of a shape or object and perimeter is the measure around a shape or object, beginning and ending at the same point, and without any overlap.

Target

Calculate the perimeter of a shape by adding the measures of all the sides. Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle drawn on a grid paper by counting the unit squares contained within the boundary of the shape.

Successor

Determine the perimeter of a square or rectangle drawn on a graph paper using the x- and y-coordinates of the vertices.
