Master 9.12 Step-by-Step 1 Lesson 1, Question 6 Use a ruler. Step 1 Find something that is about 20 cm wide. Draw a picture. Step 2 Find something that is about 10 cm wide. Draw a picture. Step 3 The item in Step 1 is 10 cm wider than the item in Step 2. How do you know this? 52 Copyright 2004 Pearson Education Canada Inc.
Master 9.13 Step-by-Step 2 Lesson 2, Question 9 Use a metre stick and a new pencil. Step 1 Start at one end of the metre stick. Place the pencil against the stick. Estimate how many pencils fit along the stick. Step 2 Move the pencil along the stick. How many pencils fit? Step 3 Draw a picture to show how many pencils fit along a metre stick. Step 4 Suppose you do not have a pencil or a metre stick. You know that a pencil is about 20 cm long. The metre stick is 100 cm long. About how many pencils fit? How do you know? Explain.

Master 9.14 Step-by-Step 3 Lesson 3, Question 4 Step 1 How far is it from your home to the corner store? Step 2 How far is it from the corner store to your home? Step 3 How far do you walk from home to the store, then back home? Step 4 How many metres in 1 km? Step 5 Compare your answers to Steps 3 and 4. Did you walk 1 km? Explain. 54 Copyright 2004 Pearson Education Canada Inc.
Master 9.15 Step-by-Step 4 Lesson 4, Question 6 A rectangle has equal opposite sides. The perimeter of the rectangle is 16 cm. So, the length + width + length + width = 16 cm Step 1 Suppose the width is 1 cm. Step 2 Suppose the width is 2 cm. Step 3 Suppose the width is 3 cm. Step 4 Suppose the width is 4 cm. Step 5 Can you draw any more rectangles with perimeter 16 cm? Explain. Copyright 2004 Pearson Education Canada Inc. 55
Master 9.16 Step-by-Step 5 Lesson 5, Question 5 Use 1-cm grid paper. Let 1 cm represent 1 m. The perimeter of a rectangle is 20 m. Step 1 Suppose the width of the rectangle is 1 m. Step 2 Suppose the width of the rectangle is 2 m. Step 3 Suppose the width of the rectangle is 3 m. Step 4 Suppose the width of the rectangle is 4 m. Step 5 Suppose the width of the rectangle is 5 m. Step 6 Can you draw any more rectangles with perimeter 20 m? Explain. 56 Copyright 2004 Pearson Education Canada Inc.
Master 9.17 Step-by-Step 6 Lesson 6, Question 4 Use triangular grid paper. Step 1 Use 6 green Pattern Blocks to make a figure. Draw it on grid paper. How did you make the figure? Step 2 Make a different figure using 6 green Pattern Blocks. Draw it on grid paper. How do you know it is different? Step 3 Continue to make different figures with 6 green Pattern Blocks. Draw each figure on grid paper. Step 4 How many different figures did you make using 6 green Pattern Blocks? Copyright 2004 Pearson Education Canada Inc. 57
Master 9.18 Step-by-Step 7 Lesson 7, Question 4 The area of the tabletop is the number of squares needed to cover it. Step 1 Jan said the area is 8 square units. Sketch a picture to show Jan s tabletop. Step 2 Madhu said the area is 50 square units. Sketch a picture to show Madhu s tabletop. Step 3 Can both Jan and Madhu be correct?
