Thanks in advance.
One way we used the smartboard in my class was to explore the difference between
perimeter and Area. I created a word document with squares using the auto
shapes and copied and pasted the squares. We then used the smart board to
create the same bumper car rides as suggested in the Connected Math book
Covering and Surrounding Problem 1.1. Although I gave the students the tiles to
work with at their desks, this was a nice way to show their designs to the whole
class for suggestions and discussion. We even used the same document to discuss
square numbers at a later date. Good Luck.
