| Solution: An adequate explanation with or without Bob. May say "neither" or "both". Parts of P overlaps N, and part sticks out. The sticking out part is equal to the left out part of N. ![]() OR Two P's match two N's therefore they have the same area. (Therefore, one N has the same area as one P.) ![]() OR Areas are equal because height of P is the same as the height of N, and the base of P is twice the base of N. ![]() OR Either of these two figures alone are acceptable.
Scoring Guide In this question, a student has to compare two given shapes with respect to their area. A student needed to realize that area meant the amount of surface a shape covers. They also needed to know how to compare the areas of the shapes. Using pictures and words to make the comparison between the areas of N and P, a student could have given a variety of explanations such as two shape P’s match with two shape N’s; therefore, one N has the same area as one P. They also could have used the geometric shapes placed one on top of the other to see how their areas compared. |

| Solution: P has the longest perimeter. Adequate explanation e.g. hold pieces up to each other, moving edges around to match
up. OR Copy the sides of each piece, in a line as shown below, and compare lengths
Scoring Guide In this question, a student has to estimate the perimeter of each shape and then compare perimeters to see which shape has the longest perimeter. This question requires a student to come up with some method to determine the perimeter of the shapes without the use of a ruler and to explain why he or she selected the shape. |
