=== Activity 3: Game ===
+
+
==== Objectives: ====
+
+
==== Materials: ====
+
+
* dot sheets/graph sheets,
+
* crayons of different colours
+
* dice (2)
+
+
==== Process: ====
+
+
# Students are paired/ divided into groups and given the listed materials
+
# Each player rolls the dice and draws a rectangle of equivalent size. Eg - if they roll 2 and 4, they draw a 2x4 rectangle.
+
# The player who covers maximum area first, wins.
+
# Ask students to calculate the perimeter of each rectangle they draw and of their final shape as well.
+
# Reference: Conquer the area (activity 2 in https://iheartteachingelementary.com/area-and-perimeter-games/)

* Does perimeter always increase if area increases?
* Does perimeter always increase if area increases?
* Does area always increase if perimeter increases? (If they say yes,give the initial grid examples as reference and ask them to check if it is holding true)
