Learning Outcome: Select and justify the most appropriate standard unit (i.e., millimetre, centimetre, decimetre, metre, kilometre) to measure length, height, width, and distance, and to measure the perimeter of various polygons
Learning Outcome: Collect data by conducting a survey or an experiment…to do with themselves, their environment, issues in their school or community, or content from another subject, and record observations or measurements
Learning Outcome: Estimate, measure using a variety of tools (e.g., centimetre grid paper, geoboard) and strategies, and record the perimeter and area of polygon
Learning Outcome: Determine, through investigation using a variety of tools… polygons or combinations of polygons that tile a plane, and describe the transformation(s) involved
Learning Outcome: Determine through investigation using a variety of tools … the relationships among area, perimeter, corresponding side lengths and corresponding angles of congruent shapes

Learning Outcome: Describe the effects on a linear graph and make the corresponding changes to the linear equation when the conditions of the situation they represent are varied.
Learning Outcome: Rearrange formulas involving variables in the first degree, with and without substitution (e.g., in analytic geometry, in measurement).
Learning Outcome: Pose problems, identify variables, and formulate hypotheses associated with relationships between two variables.
Learning Outcome: Determine the maximum area of a rectangle with a given perimeter by constructing a variety of rectangles, using a variety of tools (e.g., geoboards, graph paper, tooth- picks, a pre-made dynamic geometry sketch), and by examining various values of the area as the side lengths change and the perimeter remains constant.
Learning Outcome: Solve problems that require maximizing the area of a rectangle for a fixed perimeter or minimizing the perimeter of a rectangle for a fixed area.
