[ Students will use the correct
formulas to find the area and
perimeter of a rectangle. ]
[ MGSE4.MD.3 Apply the area and perimeter formulas
for rectangles in real world and mathematical
problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular
room given the area of the flooring and the length, by
viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation
with an unknown factor. ]
