Mathematics is Fun!!

This webquest is about Area and  Perimeter. This topic is taught in the primary curriculum from grade four through grade six. Teaching area and perimeter is fun because students have the chance to use hands on manipulative to solve problems around them. Benifits of webquest : good webquests pose an open-ended question. They�re clear and show students that they must know more that the facts to have a good understanding, also the level of scaffolding in webquests. The process is well explained to the students and everything is explained in step format, so students understand what they�re to do and what�s required. Students assume the role that allows them to investigate an issue through their view. The students are more responsible for the own learning therefore they construct a deeper understanding of the content (March, T. 2000)

Standards

This step allows for reflection by the students and summation by the teacher. Setting aside time for discussion of possible extensions and applications of the lesson honors the constructivist principle: "We learn by doing -- but we learn even better by talking about what we did.
