- Counted the number of wooden planks needed for the cage
- Measured the dimensions of the cage using a ruler
- Calculated the perimeter of the cage by adding the lengths of all sides
- Estimated the weight of the cage by comparing the weight of individual wooden planks
- Divided the total cost of the materials by the number of planks to find the cost per plank
For continued development, the child can:
- Explore different shapes and sizes for the pet cage to practice measuring and calculating area
- Create a budget for the pet cage project, including the cost of materials and any additional expenses
- Design a blueprint or diagram of the pet cage using scale measurements
- Compare the cost and dimensions of different types of pet cages to make informed decisions
