*oday, !e are going to read a "oo' called Spaghetti and .eat"alls for All9 *his "oo' !as !ritten "y .arilyn :urns and illustrated "y De""ie *illey. $0ve given each of you some unifi, cu"es. $ !ant you to pretend that your unifi, cu"es are ta"les. As !e read, $ !ant you to set the ta"les up ho! they set them up in the "oo'. ;ou !ill need to pay close attention, though, "ecause they rearrange the ta"les several times throughout the story. (8/*. 5) 3ead the story to the first stic'y note: 48o!, !hat a"out renting some ta"les and chairs 5 As'ed .rs. /omfort. $f there are -% people coming to the family reunion, and 4 people sit at each ta"le, ho! many ta"les do the comforts need to rent (8/*. 1, -) Ho! many people need to sit at a ta"le if !e only order 5 ta"les Ho! a"out 7 ta"les (8/*. 1,-)

3ead to the second stic'y note: 4:ut !hen the rental company arrived, they !ere short one chair.5 #hat do you thin' .rs. /omfort is going to do a"out "eing short one chair

Stic'y note three: *a"les should "e 1 separate ta"les. (8/*. 5) Stic'y note four: t!o of the 1 separate ta"les should "e pushed together.

$f !e push these ta"les together, !e lose the individual perimeter of each ta"le, right *hat means !e lose a t!o sides for chairs9 Ho!ever, the area is getting "igger.

Stic'y note si,: push t!o more ta"les together (7 ta"les together) (8/*. 5) Stic'y note seven: *!o more ta"les together (1 together) (8/*. 5) Stic'y note eight: divide the ta"les into t!o groups of 4 (8/*. 5) #ith this ta"le set-up, is there going to "e enough room for all of the -% people to sit Ho! many seats are there (8/*. 1, %, -)

8o!, $ am going to give you each a sheet of graph paper. $ !ant you to trace your hand on the graph paper. ;ou can then count the s&uares inside of your hand to find the area (estimate in the spots !here a full s&uare is not used). (8/*. 5) #hen you have finished finding the area of your hand, $ !ill give you and your partner a piece of string and a ruler. $ !ant you and your partner to "rainstorm ho! you can find the perimeter of your hand !ith this piece of string. (8/*. 1, -, 5) $f students are struggling, $ !ill give them hints a"out !rapping the string around their hand and measuring the string.

#hat did you notice a"out your hands #hat !as the area of your hand And perimeter (8/*. -) <et0s ma'e a graph !ith the different si>es of hands in our class. $ !ill "ring you each t!o pieces of mas'ing tape. ?et out a mar'er and !rite your name on "oth pieces. $ !ant you to !rite your area on one piece and your perimeter on the other. $ have created t!o "ar graphs (!ithout data). $ !ant you each to come up and place your name !here it "elongs on each of the graphs (@erimeter=area on "ottom and num"er of students on the left !ith that num"er on the left).
