1.) Students will draw, measure, and record the perimeter, area, and volume of numerous polygons. 

1.) Students will write an explanation of how changing the dimensions of a polygon changes the perimeter, area, and volume, including an explanation of why these changes happen. They should explain it well enough so that a sixth grader could read it and understand. They may illustrate their explanations if they think that will enhance understanding.
